Nowhere to live, nowhere to fall He used to have money, but he s wasted it all. His face is a photograph burned in my mind, But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time He sleeps under stars, that's all he can afford His blanket's an old coat he s had since the war He stands on the corner of Carter and Vine But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time He may be a drifter, he's grown old and gray But what if he s Jesus and I walk away? I say I m the body and drink of the wine But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time She's twenty-nine but she feels forty-eight She can't raise three kids on minimum wage She's cryin in back of the welfare line But I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time She may be a stranger tryin to get through the day But what if it s Jesus and I walk away? I say I m the body and drink of the wine But I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time This is a call for a change in my heart I realize that I've not been doin my part When I needed a Savior, I found it in Him He gave to me, now I'll give back to them Drifter or stranger, father or son I'll look for Jesus in every one 'Cause I am the body and drink of the wine And I'm thankful there's more than the twenty-first time
