Henry Clayton Parker

He’s never been inside a church one day in his life
But Henry Clayton Parker saw the light
A man of little means, righteous to his deeds
He always knew the wrong way from the right

Some look for religion gathered ‘neath the cross
Kneeling at the altar, they’ll find their peace with God
There’s more than just one way to be saved from Henry’s point of view
You don’t have to be inside a church, when you got the church in you

He believed salvation was something that you earned
And Sunday mornings Henry could be found
Reading from the bible to the people passing by
From a park bench in the middle of the town

Some look for religion gathered ‘neath the cross
Kneeling at the altar, they’ll find their peace with God
There’s more than just one way to be saved from Henry’s point of view
You don’t have to be inside a church, when you got the church in you

Well let me tell you brother you’re in a holy place
Anywhere you’re talking to the Lord
If you live like Henry it don’t matter where you pray
Heaven knows you’ll get your just reward

Some look for religion gathered ‘neath the cross
Kneeling at the altar, they’ll find their peace with God
There’s more than one way to be saved from Henry’s point of view
You don’t have to be inside a church, when you got the church in you

Some look for religion gathered ‘neath the cross
Kneeling at the altar, they’ll find their peace with God
There’s more than just one way to be saved from Henry’s point of view
You don’t have to be inside a church, when you got the church in you
