God Lives There

Lyrics

There's a cardboard house Beneath the bridge At 10th and Broadway That the old man calls home He drowns his sorrow and regret The cheap wine helps him forget That the best years of his life Are all but gone 'Til the preacher man From the Tabernacle Rescue Mission Tells him about amazing grace And he finds what he's missin' And it didn't take a steeple Stained glass or perfect people Thеre's a cardboard house Benеath the bridge And people pass by 'Cause they don't care But God lives there There's an old folks home Down by the river Called The Sunny View Where she's worked for years Changing bed pans, scrubbing floors Loving those who've been ignored These last days here And every now and then She sits beside someone And takes their hand And sings about a Savior And her Promised Land And it didn't take a steeple Stained glass or perfect people There's an old folks home Down by the river That becomes a house of prayer 'Cause God lives there Oh, Jesus said "When you've done it To the least of these You've done it to Me" And it didn't take a steeple Stained glass or perfect people It takes you and me To go and be the hands and feet Of the One who cares That God lives there
