Intro:
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.
Chorus:
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.
Interlude:
Verse 2:
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.
Chorus:
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.
Interlude:
Verse 3:
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.
Outro Chorus:
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.
