You Did Not Have A Home Lyrics - Singles - 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 belonged 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 here without an ax to grind 

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 an 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
