New Lives For Old

New Lives For Old - Kim Hill

They said he ran a carnival

Used to come to town

Till one September afternoon

He shut it down

They tell me something happened

Some said he lost his mind

Now most September afternoons

This is what we find

An old man on the corner

Where he used to sell his show

And he shouts what sounds like foolishness

As the people come and go

New lives for old

Warm hearts for cold

If I got a deal for you today

Come on accept Christ this day

And get you new life for old

He puts it in the papers

He goes from door to door

People said he was such a fool

To come back for more

Old friends are most repulsed and

They don't know what to say

'Cos ever since that afternoon

He's just been that way

It's likely that old man died

And some one came to take his place

Now I just things out there but when

Smile of born his big a fence

New lives for old

Warm hearts for cold

If I got a deal for you today

Come on accept Christ this day

And get you new life for old

Remembering this story as I

Once passed through that town

I thought I ought to stop and see

If he is still around

There was someone on that corner

Where I had he'd always stand

He chuckled when I asked where I can find that man

He said thank God that crazy fool finally died last spring

Then I said

I'll take up where he left off then

'Cos am pushing the same deal

New lives for old

Warm hearts for cold

If I got a deal for you today

Come on accept Christ this day

And get you new life for old

New lives for old

Warm hearts for cold

If I got a deal for you today

Come on accept Christ this day

And get you new life for old
