Two coats were [Ab] before me, an old and a new.
I could have either, so what must I do?
One coat was ugly and terribly torn,
The other, a new one, had never been worn.
The old coat was earthly and not fit to wear.
I thought of it often, shed many tears,
Then there was the clean one, presented to view.
I laid off the old coat and put on the new.
I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do,
I laid off the old coat and put on the new.
The first man was earthly and made on the ground.
We bore all his enemies, the whole world around.
The next was my savior from heaven so proud.
He gave me this new coat, you now see why.
Now this coat, it fits me, keeps me sore.
It's good in the winter, it's good in the storm.
My savior has dressed me in garments so round.
He fills me with glory, his image I'll bound.
I'll tell you the best thing [Abm] I ever did [Ab] do,
I laid off the old coat and put on the new.
I could have either, so what must I do?
One coat was ugly and terribly torn,
The other, a new one, had never been worn.
The old coat was earthly and not fit to wear.
I thought of it often, shed many tears,
Then there was the clean one, presented to view.
I laid off the old coat and put on the new.
I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do,
I laid off the old coat and put on the new.
The first man was earthly and made on the ground.
We bore all his enemies, the whole world around.
The next was my savior from heaven so proud.
He gave me this new coat, you now see why.
Now this coat, it fits me, keeps me sore.
It's good in the winter, it's good in the storm.
My savior has dressed me in garments so round.
He fills me with glory, his image I'll bound.
I'll tell you the best thing [Abm] I ever did [Ab] do,
I laid off the old coat and put on the new.
