verse 1 

           Eb                      
I found an old man lying on the street 
        Db             Ab 
thought I'd do my good deed 
  Eb                        
I wrapped my coat around him 
    Db               Ab 
and gave him food to eat 
     Db                 Ab 
With labored breath he struggled 
        Db                 Ab 
but his eyes held heaven's light 
              Bbm                                                             
He whispered, “Young man don't feel bad for me, 
        Db             Eb  
it will all work out alright 

Ab                     Db    Eb      Ab          
I was built for glory, I was made to last 
    Bbm 
God formed these feet to walk golden streets 
     Db                Eb 
when this hard life is past 
         Ab                              Db  
Say he's doin' well on the other side if anybody asks 
    Ab              Cm 
say I was built for glory

when all others passed me by
