Streets Of Gold

He stands on a street with a jar at his feet and his arms stretched t'ward the sky

God's word in his grip, there's a song on his lips I would not be denied

Winos walking past see the change in his glass and the devil takes control

They commit their sin for a half pint of gin to help fight off the cold

They laugh & they joke, tugged his old tattered coat saying preacher pray for me

Satan made us his slaves, can three whores be saved? Will Jesus set us free?



He prays Father please forgive them, oh they know not what they do

If there's no more room in heaven for these forgotten few

Lord, give this beggar's mansion to these lost wandering souls

and when I get to heaven, I'll sleep on the streets of gold



He lays down his head on the mission's last bed as they turn out the front porch light

There's a knock at the door, is there room for one more? I'm sorry not tonight

But he gives up his place for the sidewalk on 8th where the angels take his soul

to a mansion so fair built for many to share there by those streets of gold



He prays Father please forgive them for they know not what they do

If there's no more room in heaven for these forgotten few

Lord, give this beggar's mansion to these lost wandering souls

and when I get to heaven, I'll sleep on the streets of gold
