Stranger in the tavern
Late one night in a bar room A gay happy crowd was there I sat alone at my table My head bowed low in despair My past was a vision before me Everythihg I'd done was so wrong Drifting on the road to destruction I was lost and alone Oh Lord ( Lord ) have mercy On a poor lost sinner like me I'm on the path to destruction And no one can save me but thee Then through the front door walked a stranger In the clothes of a plain simple man And the crowd all stared and wondered At the bible he held in his had He walked right up to my table And he placed his hand gently on me My son turn away form your sinning And the joys of salvation you'll see * Refrain Then he truned and walked from the tavern And the crowd made not a sound I walked out to the sidewalk But the man could not be found Now I thank God for his mercy And the love he showed for me there When the stranger came into the tavern In answer to a lost sinners prayer * Refrain
