Slender Thread of Faith

There's a little corner grocery store Where Murphy spent most of his sixty four years There's a dollar hangin' by the door The first dollar that little store ever cleared Now the neighborhood has changed There's a big food market just down the way But Murphy smiles when Murphy sees That first dollar bill, he still believes He's hanging by a slender thread of faith He's sheltered from the bitter wind, the fickle winds of fate Far above the greedy and the trouble they create He's hanging by a slender thread of faith On an Easter Sunday morn See the minister pray for words to inspire His flock of thirty four The trumpets don't play, there is no choir The church right down the block Has a TV show and a giant flock But the Lord will bless them both the same All that gather in his name are They're hanging by a slender thread of faith He's sheltered from the bitter wind, the fickle winds of fate Far above the greedy and the trouble they create He's hanging by a slender thread of faith I know that sometimes it's hard to hang on But this thread is guaranteed To be just as long and just as strong As you will ever need There's a boy at the edge of town With a rusty old bike and second hand clothes But he's happy just to be around Where he gets that smile, I don't really know But sometimes when I'm not right I sit by my window and wait for the sight Of that penniless boy with the priceless face He can put my troubles in their place He's hanging by a slender thread of faith He's sheltered from the bitter wind, the fickle winds of fate Far above the greedy and the trouble they create He's hanging by a slender thread He's hanging by a slender thread He's hanging by a slender thread of faith
