	Story Behind the Song This song is based on the "once saved, always saved" belief. Whether or not you adhere to this belief, the song is a good reminder to keep up our daily walk with Him. Lyrics I met the Lord when I was young. His Son washed away all my sins. Praises to His glory I sung. I knew through Him that life begins. But as I grew into a man, I only watched out for myself. I forgot the Lord's master plan, And put my God upon a shelf. Chorus: Now I'm sweepin' the streets of gold. Hardly ever am I in His light. Although I got into His fold, The lowest up in heaven don't feel right. I laid up treasures for myself, And not at the feet of the King. With no heavenly store of wealth, I really gathered not a thing. Now I'm gone and with my Maker. No jeweled crowns upon my head. Shoulda been a giver and not a taker, And done the things the Good Lord said. (Repeat Chorus) If I could come back down to Earth, I'd tell you all, and make you see. Worship your God with all your worth. Or spend eternity like me. Or spend eternity like me. Sweepin' the streets of Gold. Sweepin' the streets of Gold. Sweepin' the streets of Gold.
