Stranger, Stalker
I was on the train home
Journaling away
Writing out all my cares of the day
When a voice from behind
Taunting and teasing
Why he chose me
I don’t know the reason
Are you an angry girl
He said with a sneer
Oh look at the angry girl
Sitting right here.
For miles and miles
He continued to jeer
I ignored him
Won’t he just disappear.
With a bulldog grip
He kept on chewing
Devouring his prey
Sitting down right next to me.
So close we were leg to leg.
I said a prayer
And stared him down
Without a blink
Without a frown
God’s strength within
Filled my soul
I’ll run the race He’s in control
Who in the world are you
To get inside my space
Is this another test
As darkness bares it’s ugly face.
Stranger, stalker
Evil is lurking behind your voice
Wicked fool
sinful intentions they are your choice
This Mary is stronger than you
And though no one stands up
To cover my innocence
Or write the sins of my stranger in the sand
Except for Him
My Savior.
I want you to leave me alone
Go to another part of the bus
I want you to leave me alone.
Get out of my space
I wasn’t doing anything
He said with a sneer
I wasn’t doing anything
I was sitting right here
For miles and miles you’ve continued to jeer
I want you to get out of here.
You are a crazy bitch
Look out for this crazy bitch
He shouts out loud
Still no one looks up
Like a tv with the mute button on
He shouted and shouted
Still everyone ignored him
He gets out at the next stop
Thank you, God.
What if he’s waiting for me when I get out?
Who in the world are you
To get inside my space
Is this another test
As darkness bares it’s ugly face.
Stranger, stalker
Evil is lurking behind your eyes
Wicked fool
sinful intentions will be your demise
This Mary is stronger than you
And though no one stands up
To cover my innocence
Or write the sins of my stranger in the sand
Except for Him
My Savior.
Victory is mine tonight
The Lord is on His throne,
I let the child speak,
Let her voice be heard
She’s no longer weak
No more alone.
I get off the train
Head toward my car
Keys in attack position
Walking the high wire with courage
I just might make it.
I get in the car
Close the door
I’m not alone anymore
My savior, my Lord
Is with me forevermore
Now I know
It is you
That is in my space
Turning me into who you want me to be
Grace bares it’s lovely face
Blessed Savior
Love is beaming behind your eyes
My redeemer
Answered prayer, you heard my cries
This Mary’s devoted to you
No one needs to stand up
To cover my innocence
Or write my sins in the sand
I have confessed to him
My Savior.
My Savior.
My Savior.
My Savior.
