Bread And Water
One night he wandered into that old mission
The one down on the poor side of town
He really had no interest in salvation
Just a place to lay his drunk ol' 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 that 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
The one down on the poor side of town
He really had no interest in salvation
Just a place to lay his drunk ol' 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 that 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
