Common Garments lyrics

One day a Roman soldier
In a shameful gambling game
Won the bloodstained garment
That once had clothed my king
Just a cheap robe of linen
No great value did it hold
But when worn by the Master
It was worth more than gold

You see, a few days before
Why, this old garment had changed the life
Of a tired and helpless woman
Who'd believed with all her might
She'd reached out and touched it
With a hope to be restored
She knew this plain old garment
Was the vesture of the Lord

God uses common garments
To do uncommon things
And God uses common people
To live out His uncommon dreams
It's not what you are now that matters
You see, it's what He can make you to be
'Cause if God can take an old common
Garment and change a life
Then surely, He can use you and me
You see, we are the reason
That Jesus came to die
We have been chosen
To send forth his light
So, it doesn't matter
If your worth is great or small
God needs some willing vessels
Just common garments, that's all

'Cause God uses common garments
To do uncommon things
And God uses common people
To live out his uncommon dreams
It's not what you are now that matters
It's what He can make you to be
'Cause if God can take an old common
Garment and change a life
Then surely, He can use you and me

If God can take an old common
Garment and change a life
Then surely, He can use you and me
