Zach's Song

Blame it on bein young and naïve But he lost his way back when That old tempter deceived And led him down the path of sin He had to pack up and leave The dark place he was in Somewhere deep down he believed That he could be born again So he ran to the light Into open arms of grace And he prayed for a heart upright And to feel the Father's embrace So he planted new roots Far from his past He landed in Baton Rouge After hours and hours of pressing the gas The branch that bore rotten fruit Into the fire was cast This new holy pursuit Would bring life that would last He praised God for the light For opening his eyes and peeling the scales And he praised God for a heart upright And for tearing the veil He met an angel from Louisiana And got down on his knee They said their vows and settled down And started a family That's the story of my bestfriend He used to live just around the bend We don't get many days to spend Together as time flies But man I want you to hear me say I'm really glad you chose not to stay It's been so long since I've seen the way The light shine like that in your eyes When you ran to the light You found open arms of grace And you received a heart upright When you felt the Father's embrace And I'll be on the next flight Just in case You ever need a hand in the good fight Or if you need to see an old friend's face
