Lyrics
Well I met an old man walkin' down the street
His clothes were torn and tattered
With sandals on his feet
And I stopped to help him and lend him a hand
He said, I love you so much
But you must understand
Silver and gold might buy you a home
But things of this world, they won't last you long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back with silver and gold
And he said to me let's rest for a while
'Cause I have some good news to share with you child
He said you can't change this old world
But people need to know
That a dear Savior died here a long long time ago and
Silver and gold might buy you a home
But things of this world, they won't last you long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back with silver and gold
His eyes shown like diamonds
And his smile was heaven sent
His hair was long and flowing
And his back was slightly bent
And I knew he knew it
'Cause that day I changed
And as I watched Him walk on
I forgot to get His name
He said silver and gold can't buy you a home
When this life has ended and your time is gone
But you can live in a world where you'll never grow old
And things can't be bought there with silver and gold
And time can't be bought back with silver and gold
