Silver and Gold

Well, I Met An Old Man Walkin' Down the Street

His Clothes Were Torn and Tattered

With Sandals On His Feet

And I Stopped to Help Him

And Lend Him a Hand

He Said, I Love You So Much

But You Must Understand

1st Chorus:

Silver and Gold Might Buy You a Home

But Things of This World

They Won't Last You Long

And Time Has a Way of Turning Us Old

And Time Can't Be Bought Back With Silver and Gold

And He Said to Me, Let's Rest For Awhile

For I Have Some Good News to Share With You, Child

He Said, You Can't Change This Old World

The People Need to Know

That a Dear Savior Died Here

A Long, Long Time Ago

Repeat 1st Chorus

His Eyes Shown Like Diamonds

And His Smile Was Heaven Sent

His Hair Was Long and Flowing

And His Back Was Slightly Bent

And I Knew He Knew It

For That Day I Changed

As I Watched Him Walk On

I Forgot to Get His Name

2nd Chorus:

He Said, Silver and Gold Can't Buy You a Home

When This Life Has Ended

And Your Time Is Gone

But You Can Live in a World Where

You'll Never Grow Old

And Things Can't Be Bought There With Silver and Gold
