A sad little boy sits alone in his room

Just waiting for the sound of a horn.

It's Sunday again, and Daddy's drunk on the floor.

He thinks, "Won't someone please show me they care?"

"Won't you please come and get me, Mr. Busman?

You see, I need someone to love me for a while

You seemed so friendly yesterday. My momma smiled as you went away

And who's this Jesus you said would change my life"

Now as that old church bus travels on down the road

You can hear "Amazing Grace" as it goes by

The horn is blowing at the last stop

A little boy comes running out.

Tears turn to a smile as he climbs inside

"I'm so glad you came to get me, Mr. Busman

You see I needed someone to love me for a while

I really hope you come again

Please tell my daddy about his sin

And who's this Jesus, I'd like to know Him somehow"

Later on, up in Heaven Mr. Busman strolls along

Just talking with Abraham and John.

A young man comes running, and he falls to his knees.

With rejoicing, they all hear him cry,

"I'm so glad you came to get me, Mr. Busman

You told me of the Blessed One Who died for me

I'm glad that I was born again, thanks for telling Dad of his sin,

And here he is, he'd like to thank you somehow

I'm so glad you came to get me, Mr. Busman"
