Verse
One night he wandered in to that old mission,
the one down on the poor side of town.
He really had no int'rest in salvation,
just a place to lay his drunk old 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 an water man that's all I need.
Bread and water, 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, a place to rest your feet.
You ain't to proud to get down on your knees
for bread and water's free.
When he bowed his head he kind of choked up,
they spoke ev'ry word of Our Lord's prayer.
He closed his eyes, and never woke up.
And he'll find bread and water waiting there.
Bread and water, man, that's all you need.
Bread and water, 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 for bread and water's free.
For bread and water's free.
