Worn and Batteted

He’d been walking down a long dirt road

With a heavy heart and a broken soul

Hat in his hand, head hanging low

Just looking for somewhere to go

Every mile just wore him thin

Every wrong choice, every sin

Left him tired, lost, and alone

Just trying to find his way back home

So he went down to Calvary road

Where the blood ran red and the mercy flowed

Laid every burden, every load

At the feet of Jesus there

With tears that fell like pouring rain

He gave up guilt, he gave up shame

And he walked away not the same

When he met the Savior there

He traveled for miles, he fought really hard

His soul was on fire, his heart was scarred

He was battered and bruised, his heart was beat

He placed it all, at Jesus’s feet

That old rugged cross stood on the hill

Where broken lives are mended still

And in that moment, time stood still

When grace came pouring down

No more chains, no more fear

Love spoke loud and crystal clear

“You’re forgiven, child, come near”

And he fell down on his knees

So he went down to Calvary road

Where the blood ran red and the mercy flowed

Laid every burden, every load

At the feet of Jesus there

With tears that fell like pouring rain

He gave up guilt, he gave up shame

And he walked away not the same

When he met the Savior there

Now he’s walking on a brand new road

Saved by grace, redeemed and whole

From a weary heart to a steady soul

All because of Calvary
