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
ย
But things of this world, they won't last you long
And time has a way of turning us old
ย
And time can't be bought back with silver and gold
ย
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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
