[Verse 1]
G C G
One night he wandered into that old mission
D G
The one out on the poor side of town
C G
He really had no interest in salvation
D G
Just a place to lay his drunk ole body down
C G
He said, Ma’am I sure am hungry
D G
And I don’t have a penny to my name
C G
Lord knows I hadn’t worked in a month of Sundays
D G
I’m dirty, dead broke and so ashamed
[Chorus 1]
C
I need bread and water, ma’am that’s all I need
G
Bread and water, and a place to rest my feet
Am G C
I ain’t too proud to get down on my knees
G
If the bread and water’s free
[Verse 2]
C G
She said, you’re always welcome at this table
D G
Said, brother you look like you could use a friend
C G
And there’s no need to pay if you’re not able
D G
Cause even Jesus was a homeless Man
C G
Well she opened up the Word and started reading
D G
About the Savior and the woman at the well
C G
Said it ain’t for me to judge this life you’re leading
D G
There’s only two things can save your soul from hell
[Chorus 1]
C
It’s bread and water, man that’s all you need
G
Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet
Am7 G C
If you ain’t too proud to get down on your knees
G
The bread and water’s free
[Verse 3]
C G
When he bowed his head he kinda choked up
D G C
They spoke every word of Our Lord’s Prayer
G C G
He closed his eyes and never woke up
D G
He’ll find bread and water waiting there
[Chorus 2]
C
Bread and water, man that’s all you need
G
Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet
C
Bread and water, man that’s all you need
G
Bread and water, brother just believe
Am G C
If you ain’t too proud to get down on your knees
G G
The bread and water’s free
G C G
Bread and water’s free
