New Song: Though My Hat is Tattered

Though My Hat is Tattered

 

There was an old man who wore a tattered hat, a tattered hat, a tattered hat.

He went taking a walk one day you know,

He was shopping along, perhaps singing a song.

Where was He going? where did he go?

He decided to shop through ev’ry window.

 

He was kind of skinny but he was not fat, he was not fat, he was not fat.

He looked in a window what did he see?

He saw displays of great artistry.

An amateur painting caught his eye.

He took off his hat and he began to cry.

 

He bowed his head and had something to say, something to say, something to say.

Then He dusted off his dirty coat;

And patted down his grubby dirty beard.

With his wrinkled hands, he rang his hat.

Though someone might have thought that he was weird.

 

Then he said,

"He gave his life for me he died for me, he died for me, he died for me."

An unknown painter had painted the cross.

Of Jesus who died to pay for our sin.

Though the painting was grim it spoke to him.

Of the great love that Jesus had given.

 

He repeated again and again, Oh I love him, he died for me: Oh I Love him, he died for me.

Though my coat is torn I am reborn.

Though my hat is tattered my joy is new.

Oh Lord, I love you: Oh Lord, I love you.

You died for me and now my hope is you.

Optional Chorus:

Jesus died for me because he loved me so.

Jesus paid the price I could not pay.

I was reminded of what he did for me.

As I looked upon this painting today.

And though my coat is torn I am reborn.

Though my hat is tattered my joy is new.

Oh Dear God, I love you: Oh Lord, I love you.

You died for me and now my hope is you.

Through the sun that shines or the storm that brews.

God never lies and God never fails

And by his great mercy, we shall prevail.

My God can calm a raging sea:

Answer prayers with majesty. 

He gives us grace that makes us joyous.

From within our hearts, our God Comforts us.

We received him and He dwells with us.

Jesus Son of God more than marvelous

My God, Sweet Father in heaven.

Thank you for forgiving our sin.

You gave your life on Calv’rys hill.

Your blood came splashing down at your death.

You paid the price followed God’s will.

You still loved us till your dying breath.

My God, Sweet Father in heaven.

Thank you for forgiving our sin.

My God, My God Sweet Father in Heaven

Your love goes on and on and on.

You died arose and are coming again.

Oh, Thank you for forgiving our sin.

My God, Sweet Father in heaven.

Thank you for forgiving our sin.
