Cadd9 G/B Asus G
Nowhere to live, nowhere to fall
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
he used to have money, but he’s wasted it all.
Cadd9 G/B Asus Em
His face is a photograph burned in my mind,
Am G D/F# G
but I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
He sleeps under stars, that’s all he can afford
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
His blanket's an old coat he’s had since the war
Cadd9 G/B Asus Em
He stands on the corner of Carter and Vine
Am G D/F# G
But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
He may be a drifter, he’s grown old and gray
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
But what if he’s Jesus and I walk away?
Cadd9 G/B Asus Em
I say I’m the body and drink of the wine
Am G D/F# G
but I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
She’s twenty-nine but she feels forty-eight
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
She can’t raise three kids on minimum wage
Cadd9 G/B Asus Em
She’s cryin’ in back of the welfare line
Am G D/F# G
but I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
She may be a stranger tryin’ to get through the day
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
but what if it’s Jesus and i walk away?
Cadd9 G/B Asus Em
I say I’m the body and drink of the wine
Am G D/F# G
but I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
This is a call for a change in my heart
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
I realize that I’ve not been doin’ my part
Cadd9 G/B Asus Em
when I needed a Savior, I found it in Him
Am G D/F# G
He gave to me, now I’ll give back to them
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
Drifter or stranger, Daughter or son
Cadd9 G/B Asus G
I’ll look for Jesus in every one
Cadd9 G/B Asus Em
’cause I am the body and drink of the wine
Am G D/F# G
and I’m thankful there’s more than the twenty-first time
