Locked Out- or In?

Sitting on the bumper

While I wait for triple A

I locked my keys inside the car

On this bright and sunny day

 

And a lot of things I value

Are locked inside this car

Although the vehicle’s still mine

It won’t take me very far

 

‘Cause a car is not too useful

When you can’t unlock the door

And money’s just no fun at all

When you can’t get to the store

 

And though the ringtone’s really nice

And my cellphone can still ring

Staring at it through tinted glass

Is just not that comforting

 

I think about myself Lord

And the treasures that I hold

The answered prayers, fellowship shared

And blessings new and old

 

And I wonder as I’m waiting

What do I keep locked inside?

Do I freely give as I’ve received-

Or do I hide behind my pride?

 

So I’m praying as I’m waiting

Would you send the trinity-

The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

To unlock the heart of me?

 

I want to be the salt and light

And as I journey home

Help me to realize this Grace

Was not meant for me alone
