Common Garments Lyrics

One day a roman soldier

In a shameful gambling game

Won the blood stained garment

That once had clothed my king

Just a cheap robe of Lenin

No great value did it hold

But when worn by the master

It was worth more than gold



Yon see a few days before

This old garment had changed the life

Of a tired and helpless woman

Who'd believed with all her might

She'd reached out and touched it

With hope to be restored

She knew this plain old garment

Was the vestige of the Lord



God uses common garments

To do uncommon things

And God uses common people

To live out his uncommon dreams

Its not what you are that matters

Its what he can make you to be

Cause if God can take an old common

Garment and change a life

Then surely he can use you and me



You see we are the reason

That Jesus came to die

We have been chosen

To send forth his light

So it doesn't matter

If your worth is great or small

God needs some willing vessels

Just common garments that's all



God uses common garments

To do uncommon things

And God uses common people

To live out his uncommon dreams

Its not what you are that matters

Its what he can make you to be

Cause if God can take an old common

Garment and change a life

Then surely he can use you and me
