There's a poor man with a bible preachin' barefoot in the snow His clothes are torn and tattered but he says he doesn't feel the cold The boys on Wall Street call him Moses He told me his name was Jim And he has a smile that seems to come from within
A rich man passed him by said get a job, man, get a home And he stood there and looked at Moses amazed at what he saw Jim smiled and said " Dear brother, I have all I need and more And I have a job, I work for the Lord"
(chorus) He said we're all living in God's house He sent His son to build our faith on solid ground And I thank the Lord Jesus, who takes away our sins He said if you believe you'll dwell within, in God's house
Moses asked the rich man, "Does your house feel like a home And are there waterfalls and rainbows And mountains made of stone" You can build your house of timber, bricks or even gold But without the spirit, a house is not a home
(chorus)
There are footprints on the corner from His bare feet in the snow They said that Moses died last Saturday I guess his work was done A man can gather earthly riches but Jim had all he needed and more He had faith, faith in the Lord
