Jesus On the Train

I saw Jesus on the train today.
He looked right through me with a piercing stare.
I didn’t expect him to look that way.
He asked me to love the people on the train.

I saw Jesus on a screen today.
His tear filled eyes in Somalia.
He’s asking me to give it all away.
To be his hands in a broken place. 

Maranatha, come back our way
Maranatha, we will be ready today
Maranatha, hear our cries
Maranatha, in the skies 

I saw Jesus in the clouds today.
He was coming with a trumpet and a shout.
How was I to know time was almost out.
He asked me if I had loved the people on the train. 

Maranatha, come back our way
Maranatha, we must be ready today
Maranatha, hear our cries
Maranatha, no more lies 

I saw Jesus on the train today.
He looked right through me with a piercing stare.
I didn’t expect him to look that way.
He asked me to love the people on the train.
