Lyrics
Two coats were before me
An old and a new
I asked my sweet Master
What must I do
The first one was ugly so tattered and worn
The other a new one had never been worn
I 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 all bore 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 tell you the best thing I ever did do
I took off the old coat and put on the new
This new coat it suits me and keeps me so warm
It’s good in the winter and its good in the storms
My Savior has dressed me in a garment so rare
He brought me this new coat you now see me wear
I tell you the best thing I ever did do
I took off the old coat and put on the new
I tell you the best thing I ever did do
I took off the old coat and put on the new
I tell you the best thing I ever did do
I took off the old coat and put on the new
