Ricky Baker

He stands on the corner.
He gets shot, robbed and is dying.
He calls 911.
He tells the operator that Jesus loves her.

A black man shot a white man.
It doesn't make national headlines.
But, this isn't about that.
There was no racism.
This was not about race.
This was about the love of money.
This was about a man,
Waiting for his bus,
Being killed.

Take it to heart,
So the end doesn't come.
He is hidden in the LORD's wings.
Take it to heart,
The merciful man dies,
And take it to heart that it is to hide him
From God's wrath.
Take it to heart.
God's mercy is shown to him for eternity now.
He is hidden from our woes.
Take it to heart,
Bring nigh the judgment of God
So the seat of violence is put far away.
