Glory By The Way Of Shame

He ran away from home at the age of seventeen

For years he drank himself to sleep

Under the bridge of Saint Stephen Street

Dad I'm stopping by

Can you look me in the eye?

He left the message by the phone

At the bus stop he cried

His father held a sign that read

Welcome Home

Glory by the way of shame

Bear a cross in Jesus name

Glory by the way of shame

It's an amazing grace

Glory By the way of shame

She cheated on him twice

But for fear she never told

She finally confessed before her heart ran cold

With pain in his eyes

He walked out of the house and drive her to town

Bought her a white wedding dress

Came home to her and danced

To the song of forgiveness

If these stories are true

I really couldn't say

But of my own heart I know

It goes much the same
