A single mom on the back row at a church outside of town
No one sits beside her her kids are kind of loud
She never misses a Sunday she does the best she can
Faith gives her the strength she needs to stand
It's Monday morning her telephone rings
When she finally answers I begin to speak
My kids they know your kids from Sunday school they say
We wanted to know can your kids come and play
Chorus:
The second mile may be as simple as a smile
For a brokenhearted mother and a fatherless child
The second mile it starts with just one step
With the Father's help, we give ourselves
And we go the second mile
You pa** his house every morning
He sits there all alone
He rarely leaves that front porch
Since his wife's been gone
85 last Friday
There were no balloons or cake
What a difference some time with you could make
Chorus:
The Second mile may be as simple as a smile
For a brokenhearted husband who's been alone for awhile
The second mile starts with just one step
With the Father's help we give ourselves
Bridge:
The greatest love that ever was
Walked the longest road
When His Spirit lives in us
We have no choice we must go
The Second Mile
The Second Mile
Outro- The Second Mile it starts with just one step
With the Father's help we give of ourselves and go the second mile
Tag- My kids they know your kids from Sunday School they say (the second mile)
85 last Monday with no balloons or cake (the second mile)'
