Every Saint

Every Saint - Guy Penrod

He climbed down off that old John Deere

Wiping sweat and I was wiping tears

He saw me coming across them cotton rows

He was 78 and I was 21

Feeling guilty for who I'd become

And then the toughest man

I knew pulled me close

He said son no matter what you've done

You gotta know

It ain't that you fall

But that you get back up

Life's more about faith

Than it is about luck

Man makes a living by the work he does

But he'll leave his mark

'cause of who he was

My boots have walked that road

So son remember

Every saint has a past

And every sinner has a future

See I never knew the cane he raised

He was a man of God a man of faith

He said Let me tell you

'bout the way I used to be

I've run from the law

And I've run 'shine

I've had some bar room fights

And a shotgun bride

'Till one night in a tent

Revival I hit my knees

And then Jesus got my heart

And now I believe

It ain't that you fall

But that you get back up

Life's more about faith

Than it is about luck

Man makes a living by the work he does

But he'll leave his mark

'cause of who he was

My boots have walked that road

So son remember

Every saint has a past

And every sinner has a future

In the pages of the

Good book you can read

About liars losers

Cheats and thieves

Who were changed

So there's hope for you and me

It ain't that you fall

But that you get back up

Life's more about faith

Than it is about luck

Man makes a living by the work he does

But he'll leave his mark

Cause of who he was

My boots have walked that road

So son remember

Every saint has a past

And every sinner has a future

Every sinner has a future
