Song Lyrics

"You Did Not Have A Home Demo Version a ragamuffin band featuring Rick Elias"

by Rich Mullins
Album: The Jesus Record: The Jesus Demos (Disc 1)

No You did not have a home
There were places You visited frequently
You took off Your shoes and You scratched Your feet
'Cause You knew that the whole world belongs to the meek
But You did not have a home
No You did not have a home

So You did not take a wife
There were pretty maids all in a row
Who lined up to touch the hem of Your robe
But You had no place to take them so
You did not take a wife
No You did not take a wife

~Chorus~
Birds have nests
Foxes have dens
But the hope of the whole world rests on the shoulders of a homeless man
You had the shoulders of a homeless man
You did not have a home

And You had no stones to throw
Well You came without an axe to grind
You did not tow the party line
No wonder sight came to the blind
You had no stones to throw
No You had no stones to throw

So You rode and ass' foal
Well they spread out their coats and cut down palms
For You and Your donkey to walk upon
But the world won't find what it thinks it wants on the back of an ass' foal
So I guess You had to get sold
'Cause the world can't stand what it cannot own and it can't own You 'cause You did not have a home

~Chorus~
(2X)
