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
