Gospel Changes

The Prodigal Son, he'd been away a while

he was working 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' about reapin' what you're sowin'

people trying to be free.

Now we've got new names and faces, this time around

Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin' down.

Jesus, He did not doubt His gifts

though He knew that He had not long to live

He took care of the bus'ness

of 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' about reapin' what you're sowin'

people trying to be free.

Now we've got new names and faces, this time around

Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin' down.

Jerusalem I see you standing 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' about reapin' what you're sowin'

people trying to be free.

Now we've got new names and faces, this time around

Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin' down.

Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin' down,

Still Goin' Down

Gospel changes, Lord, Still goin' down.
