Bread And Water

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 beg 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, 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 --- Bread and Water - Vince Gill
