| 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 |
