Brook Benton - The Lost Penny lyrics
rate meI was walking down the street<br />
In a little old country town<br />
I saw a rusty penny<br />
Half buried in the ground<br />
<br />
As I bent down to pick it up<br />
I saw beneath the rust<br />
These words, just barely visible<br />
In God we trust<br />
<br />
I held it for a moment<br />
Then suddenly, I knew<br />
What God in all his wisdom<br />
Would have me say and do<br />
<br />
He used this worthless penny<br />
To make me understand<br />
That life is not worthing living<br />
Without the master's hand<br />
<br />
[CHORUS]<br />
Oh, in God we trust<br />
In God we trust<br />
We're lost just like this penny<br />
Unless in God we trust<br />
<br />
And then, I heard a<br />
Still small voice whispering<br />
Within me, very clear<br />
Be still and know that I am God<br />
And I'm always near<br />
<br />
When all your dreams come<br />
Tumbling around you in the dust<br />
Remember this lost penny<br />
And place in me, your trust<br />
<br />
[Repeat CHORUS 2x]
