There's a tent in the center of town
|
And the people are losing their frowns
|
Cause they think they'll go there and see lions and bears
|
In the tent in the center of town
|
|
But it's all about the winning of souls
|
Say the signs on the telephone poles
|
They say if you are blue Jesus is calling you
|
To the tent in the center of town
|
|
The preacher is preaching his best
|
And he barely takes time for a breath
|
And their hearts are complete in the bearable heat
|
In the tent in the center of town
|
|
And the gentlemen give up their seats
|
To the women who've been on their feet
|
Cause it's standing room only when the Holy of Holies
|
Blesses the center of town
|
|
There's a tent in the center of town
|
Where the people can gather around
|
Who wouldn't step foot in a church
|
But who aren't afraid of a good news crusade
|
In the tent in the center of town
|
|
And they say they're drawn in by the stripes on the awning
|
And the beautiful music inside
|
But they're drawn by the Spirit that's pouring down
|
On the tent in the center of town
|
|
And revival hits like a wave
|
And hundreds are joyously saved
|
And the thief and adulterer lay it all on the altar
|
Cause there¡¯s grace in the center of town
|
|
In this tent in the center of town
|
Where the people can gather around
|
Who wouldn't step foot in a church
|
But who aren't afraid of a good news crusade
|
In the tent in the center of town
|
|
|
The time has come to move on
|
To the next hurting throng
|
And they hope as they tear it apart
|
The tent will live on in their hearts
|
|
I once was lost, but now I'm found
|
Because of a tent in the center of town
|
