I dress up every Sunday go to church religiously
Put on my best clothes, shine my shoes
Hope that God's impressed with me
So imagine my surprise last week
When someone got up to speak dressed like a bum
And I heard the quiet whispers
As he cried and talked about the kingdom come
He said, "You all recognize me
And you see my cardboard sign
Waitin' John 3:16, to get your dollars and your dime"
I know that I look the same
But I am not the guy that you once knew
Oh, now
You see God don't put a new suit on the man
He puts a new man in the suit
He don't care what you wear
It's what you wear inside
Designer shoes and fancy clothes won't save you when you die
He can change your heart and dress it up
With love and the truth
'Cause God don't put a new suit on the man
He puts a new man in the suit
Well, if you judge me by my cover
I'd be a book you wouldn't read
But looks can be deceiving thank God he sees me differently
And I stand here today
Though ragged, torn and tattered livin' crude
Oh, yes I do
And God don't put a new suit on the man
He puts a new man in the suit
He don't care what you wear
It's what you wear inside
Designer shoes and fancy clothes won't save you when you die
He can change your heart and dress it up
With love and the truth
'Cause God don't put a new suit on the man
He puts a new man in the suit
