lyrics

THE OLD MAN

Well, the Old Man --- Back again this morning
Staring back, I dried my face
Always wanting --- To come back in
Clearly, he still longs for this place

He’s been out walking --- In dry places
He can never find him any rest

He brings back seven unclean spirits
Hoping I fail the test

Then he finds ---- The house in order
Swept clean and Garnished with Grace
He wants back in --- Where he once dwelt
But the HOLY SPIRIT fills his place

He’s always hoping --- I’ll leave it empty
So, he can pillage and disgrace

But when Jesus cleans your house
Holy Spirit fills with Grace
Then he finds ---- The house in order
Swept clean and Garnished with Grace
He wants back in --- Where he once dwelt
But the HOLY SPIRIT fills his place

He’s always hoping --- I’ll leave it empty
So, he can pillage and disgrace

But when Jesus cleans your house
Holy Spirit fills with Grace
