“Silver and Gold”             Key of  

Charlie stood at the back of the Salvation Army line
                                                    (       )
where he'd go each Saturday for food.
Some call him hopeless, but he was only homeless, and he tried to do his best to
             – 
make it through.
They would gather round the fire from of the trashcan in the wintertime,
                                                     (      )
and listen to the stories he would share.
He would tell them ‘bout a Savior and a place that he called Heaven,
                                   – 
and a mansion that was waiting for him there.
They would all ask him why he lived such a life,
and they wondered how he'd make it.
But, he'd just smile and say, “One day I met Jesus Christ, and He gives me strength
to take it.”

Silver and gold have I none. But I've got all I need and that's God's only Son.
I   have for-giveness for all of my sin, a peace and joy that will never end.
( )                                
   He's building me a home where milk and honey flow.
So for right now I can live without silver and gold.

All the homeless people gathered at the Salvation Army line
                                                           (      )
one Saturday but Charlie didn't show.
The police department found him by a dumpster in an alley
                                                 – 
and they buried him discretely as John Doe.
No attendance at his funeral and no family there to say good-bye.
                                          (      )
No one even knew that he was dead.
They never noticed he was missing and though they've forgotten Charlie.
They still remember all the things he said.

Bridge
They would all ask him why he lived such a life.
It was more than they could imagine.
But he'd just smile and say,
“One day I'll see Jesus Christ and I'll trade this cardboard box for a mansion.”

Silver and gold have I none. But I've got all I need and that's God's only Son.
I   have for-giveness for all of my sin, a peace and joy that will never end.
( )                                 
    He's building me a home where milk and honey flow.
So for right now I can live without
