The Walk-On

well this fellow was a one-eyed man
he had hair down to his shoulders
he had ugly old scars in his hands
but he wasn't gettin any older
he looked at me with one good eye
and the other he fixed on my soul
he said, "brother, you're a hopeless cause
without redemption, don't ya know?"

he said, "do you take walk-ons?
cuz I'll walk on water"
he said, "do you need life again?
cuz I'm living blood, living blood"
he said, "do you take walk-ons?
cuz I'll walk on water"
he said, "you need a saviour
and I'm flesh and bone, flesh and bone"

yeah

"oh, my friend, it's time to choose
if you're willing to walk in another's shoes
friends like me sure cost a lot
are you ready to give it everything you've got?
by God
I'll make it worth your life
you just name the time and place
and I'll put you down to run the human race
lace em up it's time to run
in the name of the Father, Spirit, Son"

he said, "do you take walk-ons?
cuz I'll walk on water"
he said, "do you need life again?
cuz I'm living blood, living blood"
he said, "do you take walk-ons?
cuz I'll walk on water"
he said, "you need a saviour
and I'm flesh and bone, flesh and bone"

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I warned you
folks, they may not like you much
they say walkin around with a big ol crutch
tell them, "yes I understand
but have you ever crossed paths with the Jesus-man?"

ask em
do they talk walk-ons?
cuz he'll walk on water
ask em do they need life again?
cuz he's livin blood, livin blood

he said, "do you take walk-ons?
cuz I'll walk on water"
he said, "do you need life again?
cuz I'm living blood, living blood"
he said, "do you take walk-ons?
cuz I'll walk on water"
he said, "you need a saviour
and I'm flesh and bone, flesh and bone"

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
