Sara Groves - Tent In The Center Of Town (Live) lyrics

rate me

There's a tent in the center of town

And the people are losing their frowns

Cause they think they'll go there and see lions and bears

In the tent in the center of town

But it's all about the winning of souls

Say the signs on the telephone poles

They say if you are blue Jesus is calling you

To the tent in the center of town

The preacher is preaching his best

And he barely takes time for a breath

And their hearts are complete in the bearable heat

In the tent in the center of town

And the gentlemen give up their seats

To the women who've been on their feet

Cause it's standing room only when the Holy of Holies

Blesses the center of town

There's a tent in the center of town

Where the people can gather around

Who wouldn't step foot in a church

But who aren't afraid of a good news crusade

In the tent in the center of town

And they say they're drawn in by the stripes on the awning

And the beautiful music inside

But they're drawn by the Spirit that's pouring down

On the tent in the center of town

And revival hits like a wave

And hundreds are joyously saved

And the thief and adulterer lay it all on the altar

Cause there's grace in the center of town

In this tent in the center of town

Where the people can gather around

Who wouldn't step foot in a church

But who aren't afraid of a good news crusade

In the tent in the center of town

The time has come to move on

To the next hurting throng

And they hope as they tear it apart

The tent will live on in their hearts

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Because of a tent in the center of town
