The prodigal son, he'd been away awhile He was workin' 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 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 got new names and faces This time around Gospel changes, Lord Still goin' down Jesus, He did not doubt His gift Though He knew that He had not long to live He took care of the business Teaching us how to fly Then He bowed His head And laid down to die I listened to what the Good Book said And it made good sense to me Talkin' 'bout reapin' what you're sowin' And people tryin' to be free Now we got new names and faces This time around Gospel changes, Lord Still goin' down Jerusalem, I see is standin' 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 I listened to what the Good Book said And it made good sense to me Talkin' 'bout reapin' what you're sowin' And people tryin' to be free Now we got new names and faces This time around Gospel changes, Lord Still goin' down Gospel changes, Lord Still goin' down Still goin' down Still goin' down Gospel changes, Lord Still goin' down
