Ready to Ride Lyrics

CD: Clear
c1998 Ardent Music
Intro: (weird effect) G F Eb D
Sixth street sun is going down
Pavement's cool underneath
A vagrant so they say in town
Seems that mercy can't compete
Enter guitar
Here's the lead acoustic part being played:

Sleeping in a doorway
Near the docks of Oyster Bay
Thirteen years and carrying shame
Never hearing the voice
Of the One who took his blame
A whisper ---- he raised his head
Chorus:
Surrendered out do you believe?
Are you ready to ride the train?
Abandoned not by Love you'll see
If you're ready to ride
Verse 2:
A one-piece paper suitcase,
a past whose future was foretold,
a life not made for dying,
instead the mystery began to unfold.
Unfolding - he raised his head
(chorus)
Bridge:
Born into despair an orphan child,
Will You care for me?
And like the train that saved me
Adopted by love eternally
Opening His arms He wants you rich, you poor, you black, you white
Receive His love that runs so deep, and high, and long, and wide
(chorus)
Outro: Lead acoustic plays the verse progression riffs (as tabbed above)
