You Took Me In feat. Tim O'Brien

You Took Me In d.o.c. 05/10/2023 Tim O’Brien, Jan Fabricius, Tom Paxton


I was hungry and you took me in
I was cold and my coat was thin
I was hungry, I was cold, you took me into the fold
You didn’t have too, but you took me in


I was blind and you took me in
I lost my way and I had no kin
I was blind and I lost my way, the path I walked, led me astray
You didn’t have too, but you took me in

CHORUS:
You took me in from the rain and snow
I was all alone, no place to go
In heaven above now, they surely know
You didn’t have too, but you took me in

I was tired and you took me in
I could take no more, I was lost in sin
I was tired, I could take no more, you made me a pallet down on your floor
You didn’t have too, but you took me in

CHORUS

I was in prison and you took me in
I was shackled, now I’m free again
I was scorned and I was spurned, every back to me was turned
You didn’t have too, but you took me in


CHORUS

….You took me in
You took me in
You didn’t have too, but you took me in
