Story behind the song
In June of 2010 the Salvation Saloon will sponsor a bike ride/mission based loosely on the concepts exemplified in the TV show "Then Came Bronson" that aired in the 1969-70 season starring Michael Parks. Bronson rode across the country and in each episode would encounter and become involved in the lives of people in need. In the same way, The Bronson Project will bring together bikers of faith and we will ride through Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina offering God's blessings and help to those we find in need. We will, in short, go where the spirit leads us.
Lyrics
Somewhere in the darkness of the night (while the city sleeps)
A mother holds a child, asleep in her embrace.
She wonders if before the morning light (when life begins again)
She can find some shelter just to keep him warm and safe.
Alone inside her anguish, and faceless in her pain.
Are there any angels left to give her hope again.
So many lives are broken
So many needs unspoken
So many hearts are laden with anger and despair.
Lord open up my heart to care enough
Give my arms the strength to lift them up.
Love will be the answer that takes me down the road
To where the spirit leads.
No one seems to notice who they are (like shadows on the wall)
Blending with the background of a normal business day
But you never really have to look that far (just open up your eyes)
To find someone that’s hurting as they struggle on their way.
Never knowing they’re watched over, but hungry for some grace
All they really need to know is God is on their side.
So many lives are broken
So many needs unspoken
So many hearts are laden with anger and despair.
Lord open up my heart to care enough
Give my arms the strength to lift them up.
Love will be the answer that takes me down the road
To where the spirit leads.
Do they know there’s someone that still cares?
Do they know that God is really there?
Do they know that they are not alone?
Do they know that faith can bring them home?
Do they know your love can dry the tears?
That you are still alive and you are here?
Do they know that you’ll be there to help them through the storm?
So many lives are broken
So many needs unspoken
So many hearts are laden with anger and despair.
Lord open up my heart to care enough
Give my arms the strength to lift them up.
Love will be the answer that takes me down the road
To where the spirit leads.
You gotta know that
Love will be the answer that takes me down the road
To where the spirit leads.
