• Silver and gold

Well, I met an old man walkin' down the street,
His clothes were torn and tattered
With sandals on his feet
And I stopped to help him, and lend him a hand,
He said, "I love you so much",
But you must understand:

Silver and gold, might buy you a home
But things of this world
They won't last you long.
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back, with silver and gold.

And he said to me, "Let's rest for a while
'Cause I have some good news to share with you, child"
He said, "You can't change this old world"
The people need to know,
That a Dear Savior died here
A long, long time ago!

And silver and gold, might buy you a home,
But things of this world
They won't last you long.
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back, with silver and gold.

His eyes shown like diamonds
And his smile was Heaven sent,
His hair was long and flowing
And his back was slightly bent,
And I knew, he knew it
'Cause that day I changed,
And as I watched him walk on, I forgot to get his name.

He said, "Silver and gold, can't buy you a home"
When this life has ended, and your time is gone,
But you can live in a world where
You'll never grow old
And things can't be bought there, with silver and gold,
And time can't be bought back, with silver and gold!"
