God's Wonderful Way Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

One Saturday night in a barroom a gospel singer walked in 

And bravely she red from the Bible and begged them to turn from the sins 

Oh come into Jesus she pleaded he'll be your step in the rock 

When one of the drinkers said to her (why I don't believe in your God) 

The silence that followed was awful the others just stood there in fear 

But the drunk just kept laughin' and sayin' why doesn't your Jesus appear 

Then one of the others who stood there said that's enough of that now 

What lead you to think that Lord Jesus would bother with you anyhow 

Why you're only a bum and a drunker and nothin' that you can say 

Would reach up to God in heaven ans make him go out of his way 

And then came the voice of a starnger who stood just outside at the door 

The stranger who simply was passing by for no one had seen him before 

Oh listen to me all you people the place lit up as he smiled 

Our Lord marks the fall of a sparrow and every man is his child 

There's none so great or so lowly that God's sweet mercy denies 

And even the ones who denounce him will never be lost in his eyes 

And then he lifted his right hand and smiled up on everyone 

And the last words he said were like music I know because I am his son 

Now each who was there will remember those words to his very last day 

When Jesus appeared in a barroom and told the God's wonderful way
