The Lost Penny Lyrics

I was walking down the street

In a little old country town

I saw a rusty penny

Half buried in the ground

As I bent down to pick it up

I saw beneath the rust

These words, just barely visible

In God we trust

I held it for a moment

Then suddenly, I knew

What God in all his wisdom

Would have me say and do

He used this worthless penny

To make me understand

That life is not worthing living

Without the master's handBrook Benton - The Lost Penny - http://motolyrics.com/brook-benton/the-lost-penny-lyrics.html

[CHORUS]

Oh, in God we trust

In God we trust

We're lost just like this penny

Unless in God we trust

And then, I heard a

Still small voice whispering

Within me, very clear

Be still and know that I am God

And I'm always near

When all your dreams come

Tumbling around you in the dust

Remember this lost penny

And place in me, your trust

[Repeat CHORUS 2x]
