Gospel Changes

The prodigal son

He'd been away awhile

He was workin' his way back home now

Over many a ragged mile

When he finally crossed the river

And his father saw him near

There was a joyful sound for

All the world to hear

I listened to what the Good Book said

And it made good sense to me

Talkin' 'bout reapin'

What you're sowin'

People tryin' to be free

Now we got new names and faces

This time around

Gospel changes Lord

Still goin' down

Jesus

He did not doubt His gift

Though he knew that

He had not long to live

He took care of the business

Teaching us how to fly

Then He bowed His head

And laid down to die

I listened to what the Good Book said

And it made good sense to me

Talkin' 'bout reapin'

What you're sowin'

And people tryin' to be free

Now we got new names and faces

This time around

Gospel changes Lord

Still goin' down

Jerusalem I see is standin' high

But if you lose your salvation

There'll be no tears left to cry

Now some men worship a golden calf

While others are bought and sold

And if we live like that brother

We pay the toll

I listened to what the Good Book said

And it made good sense to me

Talkin' 'bout reapin' what you're sowin'

And people tryin' to be free

Now we got new names and faces

This time around

Gospel changes Lord

Still goin' down

Gospel changes Lord

Still goin' down

Still goin' down

Still goin' down

Gospel changes Lord

Still goin' down
