John Denver Lyrics for Song: Gospel Changes
 Lyrics for Album: Poems, Prayers & Promises [1971]
 
 
 
 15861>The Prodigal Son he'd been away awhile
 
 He was working his way back home again over many a ragged mile
 
 When he finally crossed the river
 
 And his Father saw him near
 
 There was a joyful sound
 
 For all the world to hear
 
 Chorus:
 
 I listened to what the Good Book said
 
 And it made good sense to me
 
 Talkin' 'bout reapin what you're sowing
 
 And people trying to be free
 
 Now we got new names and faces this time around
 
 Gospel changes, Lord still goin' down
 
 
 
 Jesus he did not doubt his gift
 
 Though he knew that he had not long to live
 
 He took care of the business of teachin' us how to fly
 
 Then he bowed his head, and lay down to die
 
 Chorus
 
 
 
 Jerusalem I see you standin' high
 
 But if you lose your salvation, they're be no tears left to cry
 
 Now some men worship a golden calf
 
 While others are bought and sold
 
 And if we live like that, brother we pay the toll
 
 Chorus
 
 15861>
