[Bb]
[Eb]
He was 29 when he got the call, a poor man with six [Ab] kids and a wife.
[Bb] I remember singing songs he wrote on sunny days to folks that he [Eb] baptized.
And I'd watch him at the altar, wanting God to wash their sins away.
[G] [Ab] [Bb] He'd say, this might be your last song, but I had put it off [Eb] another day.
And I recall him praying many nights to God for strength to [Ab] carry on.
[Bb] And those tears in [Fm] Mama's eyes, [Bb] shame and suffering moved [Eb] within our home.
And this young boy watched a broken man gain strength through faith I could not [Ab]
understand.
[Bb] But he was fire and brimstone, and I was only following [Eb] the man.
[Ab] My life changed, he never did, his purpose and his meaning [Eb] stayed the same.
[Bb] When he spoke of hell, I could almost feel the heat [Eb] from the flame.
[Ab] And sometimes I would wonder where he'd found the will to face [Eb] another day.
But he stayed up on that mountain, [Bb] he knew that God would answer [Eb] when he prayed.
He [B] was [E]
preaching, I was singing, but I'd turned my life in such a [A] different way.
[E] [A] [B] He was looking up for Jesus, I was looking up some club where I [E] could play.
[Db] But the Holy Spirit found me on my knees one night and washed my [A] sins away.
[E] [A] [B] If this is the last song, I can be where streets are gold [E] and daddy waves.
[B] If this is the last song, I can be where streets are gold and [E] daddy waves.
