One night he wandered into that old mission
|
The one out on the poor side of town
|
He really had no interest in salvation
|
Just a place to lay his drunk ole body down
|
|
He said, Ma'am I sure am hungry
|
And I don't have a penny to my name
|
Lord knows I hadn't worked in a month of Sundays
|
I'm dirty, dead broke and so ashamed
|
|
I need bread and water, ma'am that's all I need
|
Bread and water, and a place to rest my feet
|
I ain't too proud to get down on my knees
|
For bread and water's free
|
|
She said, you're always welcome at this table
|
Said, brother you look like you could use a friend
|
And there's no need to pay if you're not able
|
Cause even Jesus was a homeless Man
|
|
Well she opened up the Word and started reading
|
About the Savior and the woman at the well
|
Said it ain't for me to judge this life you're leading
|
There's only two things can save your soul from hell
|
|
It's bread and water, man that's all you need
|
Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet
|
If you ain't too proud to get down on your knees
|
The bread and water's free
|
|
When he bowed his head he kinda choked up
|
They spoke every word of Our Lord's Prayer
|
He closed his eyes and never woke up
|
He'll find bread and water waiting there
|
|
Bread and water, man that's all you need
|
Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet
|
|
Bread and water, man that's all you need
|
Bread and water, brother just believe
|
If you ain't too proud to get down on your knees
|
The bread and water's free
|
Bread and water's free
|
