Beautiful song about hope and the role we can all serve in helping those in need - no one is unredeemable or beyond hope. Even more so, the broken, the meek, or the poor are often the ones whom God uses to do his work- whom he shows his love to more openly.

In the Bible, Gabriel is God’s archangel.

The Vagabond who receives hope from Gabriel begins to praise God and call to other people in the street: “there’s someone here you gotta meet.” While Gabriel is gone, the person whom the public needs to meet is Jesus, the savior of the world sent to reconcile our sin and get us closer to God- to a world where there will be no poverty or addiction or hopelessness.

In the bridge of the song The Vagabond and the young girl, say “we are the voice of one crying in the wilderness.” This is a quote from Isaiah and again in Matthew 3:3 where John the Baptist is described as “the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.’”

John the Baptist was misunderstood by many, just like the Vagabond and the girl. But he preached of the coming of Jesus and gave hope to many, similar to what the characters do in this song.

Truly a beautiful song about victory and hope for the (seemingly) hopeless. An epic depiction of the power of the Gospel.
