Bread And Water - Vince Gill

One night he wandered into that old mission

The one out on the poor side of town

He really had no interest in salvation

Just a place to lay his drunk ole 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 and water, ma’am that’s all I need

Bread and water, and 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 can save your soul from hell

It’s bread and water, man that’s all you need

Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet

If you ain’t too proud to get down on your knees

The bread and water’s free

When he bowed his head he kinda choked up

They spoke every word of Our Lord’s Prayer

He closed his eyes and never woke up

He’ll find bread and water waiting there

Bread and water, man that’s all you need

Bread and water, and a 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

The bread and water’s free

Bread and water’s free
