Two Coats

Two Coats
(trad., arr. Blue Highway)

Two coats lay before me, the old and the new
I could have either--which one will I choose?
One looks so ragged--it looks so worn
The other a new coat that's never been worn

I'll tell you the best thing I ever did do
Was pull off the old coat and put on the new

Well the first man was earthly, he was raised from the ground
We bore his image the whole world around
And the next man was Jesus, he treats me so fair
He gave me this new coat you now see me wear
chorus
This new coat it fits me, it keeps me so warm
It's good in the shelter and good in the storm
This new coat's my Jesus, he treats me so fair
He gave me this new coat you now see me wear
chorus, repeat chorus
