[F#] We don't have much here, but [C#] you're [F#] welcome to it all.
The [C#] preacher told the [F#] stranger at the door,
[B] come [F#] sit down by this fire.
Let the coffee warm you [C#] up.
I can't say I've seen it rain this [F#] hard before.
[B] The stranger said, I saw your [C#] sign as [B] I was walking down the road.
I figured [D#m] that [F#] a church might [B] be the safest place [C#] to go.
Well, sun [F#] crosses shore, get heavy, and [C#] we've all got one to [B] bear.
And if you're [D#m] looking [F#] for a shelter [B] from the storm, [F#] you'll find one here.
They sat and talked for hours there [C#] in that empty [B] church
about how [Fm] [F#] life's unfair sometimes, trying to make sense of [G#m] how God works.
[C#] The preacher said, I [F#] lost my son one summer, and he was only 25.
A [C#] drunk [B] driver crossed that [F#] double yellow line.
[B] And [F#] I prayed so hard to Jesus to [B] save my [C#] only son.
[F#m] It seems [C#] all [B] I do these [F#] days is question why.
Now [D#m] I stand here [C#] every Sunday [B] and preach to everybody else.
I talk a [G#m] lot about [C#]
forgiveness, [B] but I can't do it [F#] myself.
[C#] [F#m] Sun crosses shore, get heavy, [C#] and we've all got one to bear.
[B] I don't know why I'm telling [C#] you all this, [B] or if you even care.
[F#] They sat and talked for hours there [C#] in that [F] empty church
about [D#m] how life's unfair [F#] sometimes, [B] trying to [F#] make sense of how [G#m] God works.

[F#] Tears filled the stranger's eyes.
He said, I know I've [C#] changed a lot.
I might be [B] hard for [F#] you to recognize.
[B] I [F#] laid one summer night, and I'd had too [B] much to drink.
[F#m] I got [B] behind the wheel and [F#] changed both of our lives.
And [D#m] I'm sorry just [C#] ain't good enough [B] when you hurt someone like that.
And if I could, [C#] God [F#] knows I'd give [B] my life to bring him [C#] back.
[F#] Preacher crosses shore, get heavy, and [C#] we've all got one to bear.
