Hollow Point Jesus
Pastor Jim preached forgiveness Every Sunday for forty years Held the hands of the dyin' Wiped a thousand widows' tears
Then the boys came back from the war And his own son in a box Flag on top, a folded letter And a pain the Good Book couldn't unlock
Hollow point Jesus Chambered in the hymnal Preacher found a reckoning The Bible couldn't kill Hollow point Jesus Sometimes grace gets loud Sometimes a man in a collar Puts the devil in the ground
Walked past his son's casket Walked past the altar rail Walked into the sheriff's office With a 12-gauge and a holy trail
Said "I know who sold him the powder I know who put the needle in his arm I'm gonna give that boy communion Whether the law agrees or not, I'm armed"
Maybe God don't love the soldier Who puts on the collar then picks up the gun But the preacher said "I'll meet Him with it And explain what a father had to become"
Sheriff didn't stop him, sheriff just nodded County turned the other way Dealer didn't see the dark come walkin' And the church bell rang that day
Hollow point Jesus Chambered in the hymnal Preacher held the vengeance The Bible couldn't till Hollow point Jesus The Lord ain't always slow Sometimes a man in a collar Sends the devil down below Hollow point Jesus He sends the devil down below
