You Did Not Have A Home Lyrics - Singles - Mullins Rich

Rich Mullins 

Oh, You did not have a home 

There were places You visited frequently 

You took off Your shoes and scratched Your feet 

'Cause you knew that the whole world belongs to the meek 

But You did not have a home 

No, You did not have a home 

And You did not take a wife 

There were pretty maids all in a row 

Who lined up to touch the hem of Your robe 

But You had no place to take them, so 

You did not take a wife 

No, You did not take a wife 

Birds have nests, foxes have dens 

But the hope of the whole world rests 

On the shoulders of a homeless man 

You had the shoulders of a homeless man 

No, You did not have a home 

Well you had no stones to throw 

You came without an ax to grind 

You did not tow the party line 

No wonder sight came to the blind 

You had no stones to throw 

You had no stones to throw 

And You rode and ass' foal 

They spread their coats and cut down palms 

For You and Your donkey to walk upon 

But the world won't find what it thinks it wants 

On the back of an ass' foal 

So I guess You had to get sold 

'Cause the world can't stand what it can't own 

And it can't own You 

'Cause You did not have a home 

Birds have nests, foxes have dens 

But the hope of the whole world rests 

On the shoulders of a homeless man 

You had the shoulders of a homeless man 

No, You did not have a 

Birds have nests, foxes have dens 

But the hope of the whole world rests 

On the shoulders of a homeless man 

You had the shoulders of a homeless man 

And the world can't stand what it can't own 

And it can't own You 

'Cause You did not have a home
