Built For Glory, Made To Last

[Verse 1: Terry Scott Taylor]
Found an old man lying on the street, thought I'd do my good deed
I wrapped my coat around him and brought him food to eat
With labored breath he struggled, but his eyes held heaven's light
He whispered, "Young man, don't feel bad for me, it'll all work out all right"

[Chorus: Terry Scott Taylor]
'Cause I was built for glory, I was made to last
God formed these feet to walk golden streets when this hard life is passed
Say, "He's doing well on the other side" if anybody asks
Say I was built for glory, I was made to last

[Verse 2: Gene Eugene]
He said, "I've been a Texas Ranger, and I've been a railroad man
Lost two sons to consumption, I lost my money in a get-rich scam
Buried my wife fifteen years ago, that's when I took to the road
I'm too crippled now to walk again, but I'll walk the streets of gold"

[Chorus: Gene Eugene]
'Cause I was built for glory, I was made to last
God formed these feet to walk golden streets when this hard life is passed
Say, "He's doing well on the other side" if anybody asks
Say I was built for glory, I was made to last

[Verse 3: Michael Roe]
I asked, "What's your name?" He shook his head, said, "It don't really matter
I'm just another poor soul out on the street whose reward's in the great hereafter
And Jesus been a friend of mine when all others pass me by
But He led you here so I could say these words before I die"

[Chorus: Michael Roe]
Yeah, I was built for glory, I was made to last
God formed these feet to walk golden streets when this hard life is passed
Say, "He's doing well on the other side" if anybody asks
Say I was built for glory, I was made to last

[Verse 4: Derri Daugherty]
The old man held me by the hand and sighed his final breath
Now his spirit is in heaven while his body is at rest
Today I'm making it my mission to help others understand
We're all fish out of water, strangers in a foreign land

[Chorus]
We were built for glory, we were made to last
God formed our feet to walk golden streets when this hard life is passed
It's time to make your peace with God, 'cause this life's over fast
We were built for glory, we were made to last
