[Intro]
G     Bm   C D  G
[Verse 1]
I found an Dold man lying on the street
thought CI'd do my good Gdeed
I Dwrapped my coat around him
and Cgave him food to Geat
With Clabored breath he Gstruggled
but his Ceyes held heaven's Glight
He whispered, Am“Young man don't feel bad for me,
it will Call work out aDlright
[Chorus]
GI was built for glory, CI was Dmade to Glast
God Amformed these feet to walk golden streets
when Cthis hard life is Dpast
Say he's Gdoin' well on the other side if Canybody asks
say GI was built for Bmglory
CI was Dmade to Glast.”C  D  G  
[Verse 2]
He said “DI've been a Texas ranger
and I've Cbeen a railroad Gman
Lost Dtwo sons to consumption
Lost my Cmoney in a get rich Gscam
Buried Cmy wife fifteen Gyears ago
that's when CI took to the Groad
I'm too Amcrippled now to walk again
but I'll Cwalk those streets of Dgold
[Chorus]
GI was built for glory, CI was Dmade to Glast
God Amformed these feet to walk golden streets
when Cthis hard life is Dpast
Say he's Gdoin' well on the other side if Canybody asks
say GI was built for Bmglory
CI was Dmade to Glast.”C  D  G  
[Verse 3]
I asked, D“What's your name?” He shook his head, 
Said, “CIt don't really Gmatter
I'm just anoDther poor soul out on the street
whose Creward's in the great herGeafter
and CJesus been a Gfriend of mine
when all Cothers passed me Gby
but He Amled you here so I could say
these Cwords before I Ddie 
[Chorus]
GI was built for glory, CI was Dmade to Glast
God Amformed these feet to walk golden streets
when Cthis hard life is Dpast
Say he's Gdoin' well on the other side if Canybody asks
say GI was built for Bmglory
CI was Dmade to Glast.”C  D  G  
[Verse 4]
The oDld man held me by the hand
and Csighed his final Gbreath
Now his Dspirit is in heaven
while his Cbody is at Grest
Today CI'm makin it my Gmission
to help Cothers underGstand
We're Amall fish out of water
CStrangers in a foreign Dland
[Chorus]
GWe were built for glory, Cwe were Dmade to Glast
God Amformed our feet to walk golden streets
when Cthis hard life is Dpast
It’s Gtime to make your peace with God cuz Cthis life’s over fast
GWe were built for Bmglory
CWe were Dmade to GlastC  D  G
