The Richest Man In Town
The beacon cut through the dark
Like a knife
And for many down there it was the only sign of life
The doors were always open
The beds were always full
But there was always room at the table
For one more soul
They called him "easy money"
His real name they didn't know
But it didn't seem to matter
'cause they had a place to go
He would say he didn't have a dime
He could call his own
And ever since he heard the calling
He's called the mission home
He's the richest man in town
You can't put a price tag
On the happiness he's found
His investment in the savior
Keeps his feet on solid ground
Ever since the father touched him
He's the richest man in town
He made a fortune in houston
They heard his money came first
But all his worldly treasures
Couldn't quench the thirst
Then Jesus led him to the well
That never runs dry
And filled him with the peace of mind
His money couldn't buy
He's the richest man in town
You can't put a price tag
On the happiness he's found
His investment in the savior
Keeps his feet on solid ground
Ever since the father touched him
He's the richest man in town
Like a knife
And for many down there it was the only sign of life
The doors were always open
The beds were always full
But there was always room at the table
For one more soul
They called him "easy money"
His real name they didn't know
But it didn't seem to matter
'cause they had a place to go
He would say he didn't have a dime
He could call his own
And ever since he heard the calling
He's called the mission home
He's the richest man in town
You can't put a price tag
On the happiness he's found
His investment in the savior
Keeps his feet on solid ground
Ever since the father touched him
He's the richest man in town
He made a fortune in houston
They heard his money came first
But all his worldly treasures
Couldn't quench the thirst
Then Jesus led him to the well
That never runs dry
And filled him with the peace of mind
His money couldn't buy
He's the richest man in town
You can't put a price tag
On the happiness he's found
His investment in the savior
Keeps his feet on solid ground
Ever since the father touched him
He's the richest man in town
