1)
TWO COATS WERE BEFORE ME
AN OLD AND A NEW
I COULD HAVE EITHER
SO WHAT MUST I DO
ONE COAT WAS EARTHLY AND TERIBLY TORN
THE OTHER A NEW ONE HAD NEVER BEEN WORN
CHORUS
I'LL TELL YOU THE BEST THING I EVER DID DO
I LAID OF THE OLD COAT AND PUT ON THE NEW
2)
THE OLD COAT WAS EARTHLY AND NOT FIT TO WEAR
I THOUGHT OF IT OFTEN AND SHED MANY A TEAR
THEN THERE WAS A CLEAN ONE PRESENTED TO ME
I LAID OFF THE OLD COAT AND PUT ON THE NEW
3)
THE FIRST MAN WAS EARTHLY AND MADE FROM THE GROUND
WE ALL BORE HIS IMAGE THE WHOLE WORLD AROUND
THIS NEW COAT IS JESUS SO LOVELY AND FAIR
HE BOUGHT ME THIS NEW COAT YOU NOW SEE ME WEAR
4)
NOW THIS COAT IT FITS ME AND KEEPS ME SO WARM
IT'S GOOD IN THE WINTER IT'S GOOD IN THE STORM
MY SAVIOR HAS DRESSED ME IN GARMENTS SO RARE
HE GAVE ME HIS GLORY THIS IMAGE I BEAR
