Two Coats

(Traditional, Arranged By: Emory Gordy, Jr., Patty Loveless)
 Two coats were before me
 And old and a new
 I asked my sweet Master
 Oh what must I do
 The old coat was ugly
 So tattered and torn
 The other a new one
 Had never been worn
 I'll tell you the best thing
 I ever did do
 I took off the old coat
 And put on the new
 The first man was earthly
 And made from the ground
 We bore all his image
 The whole world around
 The next was my Savior
 From heaven so fair
 He brought me this new coat
 You now see me wear
 I'll tell you the best thing
 I ever did do
 I took off the old coat
 And put on the new
 Now this coat is suits me
 And keeps me so warm
 It's good in the winter
 It's good in the storm
 My Savior has dressed me
 In a garment so rare
 He brought me this new coat
 You now see me wear
 I'll tell you the best thing
 I ever did do
 I took off the old coat
 And put on the new
 I'll tell you the best thing
 I ever did do
 I took off the old coat
 And put on the new
