The Twenty-First Time
C G/B G/A G
Nowhere to live, nowhere to fall
C G/B G/A G
He used to have money but he's wasted it all
C G/B G/A Em
His face is a photograph burned in my mind
C G/B G/A G
But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
C G/B G/A G
He sleeps under stars, it's all he can afford
C G/B G/A G
His blanket's an old coat he's had since the war
C G/B G/A Em
He stands on the corner Carter and Vine
C G/B G/A G
But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
Chorus 1
C G/B G/A G
He may be a drifter whose grown old and gray
C G/B G/A G
But what if it's Jesus and I walk away
C G/B G/A G
I say I'm the body and drink of the wine
C G/B G/A G
But I pretend not to see him for the twenty-first time
Vs2
She's twenty-nine but feels forty-eight
She can't raise three kids on minimum wage
She's crying in back of the welfare line
But I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time
Chorus2
She may be a stranger trying to get through the day
But what if it's Jesus and I walk away
I say I'm the body and drink of the wine
But I pretend not to see her for the twenty-first time
Vs3
This is a call for a change in my heart
I realize that I've not been doing my part
When I needed a Savior I found it in Him
He gave to me now I'll give back to them
Chorus 3
Drifter or stranger, daughter or son
I'll look for Jesus in everyone
Cause I am the body and drink of the wine
And I'm thankful there's more than the twenty-first time
