Lyrics John Denver

John Denver

Gospel Changes

1. The Prodigal Son, he'd been away a while

He was working his way back home now over many a ragged mile

When he finally crossed the river

And his father saw him near

There was a joyful sound for all the world to hear

R: I listened to what the Good Book said,

And it made good sense to me

Talkin' 'bout reapin' what you're sowin'

People tryin' to be free

Now we've got new names and faces,

This time a round,

Gospel Changes, Lord, still goin' down

2. Jesus, He did not doubt His gifts

Though He knew that He had not long to live

He took care of the business

Of teachin' us how to fly

Then He bowed his head and laid down to die

R: I listened to...

3. Jerusalem, I see you standing high

But if you lose your salvation there'll be no tears left to cry

Now some men worship a Golden Calf

While others are bought and sold

And if we live like that brother we pay the toll

R: I listened to...

Gospel Changes, Lord, still goin' down

Still goin', down, yeah, yeah, yeah, still goin' down

Gospel Changes, Lord, still goin' down
