PART TWO
The hitchhiker got up from the highway
And watched the Chevy pickup speed away
Clutching the cross which she thought was a knife
He kept on walking in search of his wife
She was taken from him in December
Right at Christmas he’ll always remember
He was told by Christians she was with God
But to him that was like the Land of Nod
Yet he kept walking the road of the dead
When he saw the pickup stopped up ahead
He approached it with caution and dismay
It was the woman who had sped away
She said from over the passenger side
‘I’m sorry friend that my heart and mind lied
I see now that you are a soul in need
And it’s always been my God-given creed
To do what I can for one’s salvation
So forgive me for my hesitation
Get in the truck and let’s go find your wife
May this be the first day of a new life.’
