Mr. Brown
by The Dixie Echoes

Album: Jesus Made Me A Promise

Verse 1
Mister Brown sat in church on Sunday pretending to hear the preacher preach
But by the time the altar call was given his mind had often wondered to the creek
Mister Brown often felt like praying but he didn't want anyone to see him cry
So he never talked to Jesus, he thought that there would be another time

Chorus
He had his chance at the last altar call
He did not pray when Jesus talked to him
If he missed heaven then he would miss it all
He had his chance at the last altar call

Verse 2
Now it wasn't long before Mister Brown had died and now he stands before the Lord
No defense had he to offer cause he knew that he had failed to get on board
Mister Brown only stood there for he knew he had not been saved
He asked the Lord to save him but this is what the Lord had to say

Chorus 2
You had your chance at the last altar call
Worker of iniquity depart from me
You should have prayed like I asked when you were small
You had your chance at the last altar call
