Lyrics
There was a man walking down the road trouble right down to his lonesome soul
So he cried out to the Lord above saying dear Lord, I got no one to love
Now He does save He does forgive
Wash away your sins and help you live
But he does ask that you pay your dues
And on the mount He'll be waiting there for you
There's another man drinking his sorrows down he didn't know where his soul was bound
So he cried out to Jesus Christ saying dear Lord, can't you see I've paid the price
Now He does save He does forgive
Wash away your sins and help you live
But he does ask that you pay your dues
And across that river He'll be waiting there for you
There was a girl who was all alone just her and her baby without a home
So she cried out please give me one more shot and please dear Lord forsake me not
Now He does save He does forgive
Wash away your sins and help you live
But he does ask that you pay your dues
And at the altar He'll be waiting there for you
Now He does save He does forgive
Wash away your sins and help you live
But he does ask that you pay your dues
And in the sky He'll be waiting there for you
Yes at the cross He's waiting there for you
