The beacon cut through the dark Like a knife And for many down there it was the only sign of life The doors were always open The beds were always full But there was always room at the table For one more soul They called him "easy money" His real name they didn't know But it didn't seem to matter 'Cause they had a place to go He would say he didn't have a dime He could call his own And ever since he heard the calling He's called the mission home He's the richest man in town You can't put a price tag On the happiness he's found His investment in the savior Keeps his feet on solid ground Ever since the father touched him He's the richest man in town He made a fortune in houston They heard his money came first But all his worldly treasures Couldn't quench the thirst Then Jesus led him to the well That never runs dry And filled him with the peace of mind His money couldn't buy He's the richest man in town You can't put a price tag On the happiness he's found His investment in the savior Keeps his feet on solid ground Ever since the father touched him He's the richest man in town
