[Verse 1 Terry Scott Taylor] Found an old man lying on the street, thought Id do my good deed I wrapped my coat around him and brought him food to eat With labored breath he struggled, but his eyes held heavens light He whispered, Young man, dont feel bad for me, itll all work out all right [Chorus Terry Scott Taylor] Cause I was built for glory, I was made to last God formed these feet to walk golden streets when this hard life is passed Say, Hes doing well on the other side if anybody asks Say I was built for glory, I was made to last [Verse 2 Gene Eugene] He said, Ive been a Texas Ranger, and Ive been a railroad man Lost two sons to consumption, I lost my money in a getrich scam Buried my wife fifteen years ago, thats when I took to the road Im too crippled now to walk again, but Ill walk the streets of gold [Chorus Gene Eugene] Cause I was built for glory, I was made to last God formed these feet to walk golden streets when this hard life is passed Say, Hes doing well on the other side if anybody asks Say I was built for glory, I was made to last [Verse 3 Michael Roe] I asked, Whats your name? He shook his head, said, It dont really matter Im just another poor soul out on the street whose rewards in the great hereafter And Jesus been a friend of mine when all others pass me by But He led you here so I could say these words before I die [Chorus Michael Roe] Yeah, I was built for glory, I was made to last God formed these feet to walk golden streets when this hard life is passed Say, Hes doing well on the other side if anybody asks Say I was built for glory, I was made to last [Verse 4 Derri Daugherty] The old man held me by the hand and sighed his final breath Now his spirit is in heaven while his body is at rest Today Im making it my mission to help others understand Were all fish out of water, strangers in a foreign land [Chorus] We were built for glory, we were made to last God formed our feet to walk golden streets when this hard life is passed Its time to make your peace with God, cause this lifes over fast We were built for glory, we were made to last
