I'm only passing through this town
this place is run down, this city is a frown
This town can never be my hometown
I'll never hang my pictures on these hotel walls

When I go this town will be just a shadow
Yet when I go I'll still have to say

While I was on earth
Did I give Christ my love
Did I serve anyone
While I was on earth
Did I love with the love I've been shown'

Not sure what it was like in this town
before the curse of man was swallowed on down
But now the rust from inside us has spilled
and has filled every crack in every sidewalk I see

Thanks be to God for His cleansing reach
that takes a hold of a man and makes him say

While I was on earth
Did I give Christ my love
Did I serve anyone
While I was on earth
Did I love with the love I've been shown'

Some things seem like they'll never change
In this town
Some things seem like they'll never change
Inevitably they will
