Lyrics
In a little white church in the middle town
The preacher was preaching a sermon of power
In the back sat a boy, in the front, an old man
They both heard the truth in the words that were said
Now, we all have sin, and we need to be saved
And there is a Savior who died in our place
So, when they started singing just as I am
They both stepped out to come, one boy and one man
They came down the same aisle
And they fell on their knees
They came to the same cross
And they both were set free
They were washed in the same blood
And the past was erased
Although different, the sin was
They were saved by the same grace
The old man was leaving a life of regret
So dark were the years, he could never forget
The young boy was turning to a future of hope
And the same touch of grace was sufficient for both
And they came down the same aisle
And they fell on their knees
They came to the same cross
And they both were set free
They were washed in the same blood
And the past was erased
Although different, the sin was
They were saved by the same grace
They were washed in the same blood
And the past was erased
Although different, the sin was
They were saved by the same grace
