The Walk-on Lyrics - Singles - Margaret Carpenter

well this fellow was a one-eyed man 

he had hair down to his shoulders 

he had ugly old scars in his hands 

but he wasn't gettin any older 

he looked at me with one good eye 

and the other he fixed on my soul 

he said, "brother, you're a hopeless cause 

without redemption, don't ya know?" 

he said, "do you take walk-ons? 

cuz I'll walk on water" 

he said, "do you need life again? 

cuz I'm living blood, living blood" 

he said, "do you take walk-ons? 

cuz I'll walk on water" 

he said, "you need a saviour 

and I'm flesh and bone, flesh and bone" 

yeah 

"oh, my friend, it's time to choose 

if you're willing to walk in another's shoes 

friends like me sure cost a lot 

are you ready to give it everything you've got? 

by God 

I'll make it worth your life 

you just name the time and place 

and I'll put you down to run the human race 

lace em up it's time to run 

in the name of the Father, Spirit, Son" 

he said, "do you take walk-ons? 

cuz I'll walk on water" 

he said, "do you need life again? 

cuz I'm living blood, living blood" 

he said, "do you take walk-ons? 

cuz I'll walk on water" 

he said, "you need a saviour 

and I'm flesh and bone, flesh and bone" 

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I warned you 

folks, they may not like you much 

they say walkin around with a big ol crutch 

tell them, "yes I understand 

but have you ever crossed paths with the Jesus-man?" 

ask em 

do they talk walk-ons? 

cuz he'll walk on water 

ask em do they need life again? 

cuz he's livin blood, livin blood 

he said, "do you take walk-ons? 

cuz I'll walk on water" 

he said, "do you need life again? 

cuz I'm living blood, living blood" 

he said, "do you take walk-ons? 

cuz I'll walk on water" 

he said, "you need a saviour 

and I'm flesh and bone, flesh and bone" 

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
