Tent In The Center Of Town (Live) Lyrics - Sara Groves
Review The Song (2)
There's a tent in the center of town
And the people are losing their frowns
Cause they think they'll go there and see lions and bears
In the tent in the center of town
But it's all about the winning of souls
Say the signs on the telephone poles
They say if you are blue Jesus is calling you
To the tent in the center of town
The preacher is preaching his best
And he barely takes time for a breath
And their hearts are complete in the bearable heat
In the tent in the center of town
And the gentlemen give up their seats
To the women who've been on their feet
Cause it's standing room only when the Holy of Holies
Blesses the center of town
There's a tent in the center of town
Where the people can gather around
Who wouldn't step foot in a church
But who aren't afraid of a good news crusade
In the tent in the center of town
And they say they're drawn in by the stripes on the awning
And the beautiful music inside
But they're drawn by the Spirit that's pouring down
On the tent in the center of town
And revival hits like a wave
And hundreds are joyously saved
And the thief and adulterer lay it all on the altar
Cause there’s grace in the center of town
In this tent in the center of town
Where the people can gather around
Who wouldn't step foot in a church
But who aren't afraid of a good news crusade
In the tent in the center of town
The time has come to move on
To the next hurting throng
And they hope as they tear it apart
The tent will live on in their hearts
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Because of a tent in the center of town
And the people are losing their frowns
Cause they think they'll go there and see lions and bears
In the tent in the center of town
But it's all about the winning of souls
Say the signs on the telephone poles
They say if you are blue Jesus is calling you
To the tent in the center of town
The preacher is preaching his best
And he barely takes time for a breath
And their hearts are complete in the bearable heat
In the tent in the center of town
And the gentlemen give up their seats
To the women who've been on their feet
Cause it's standing room only when the Holy of Holies
Blesses the center of town
There's a tent in the center of town
Where the people can gather around
Who wouldn't step foot in a church
But who aren't afraid of a good news crusade
In the tent in the center of town
And they say they're drawn in by the stripes on the awning
And the beautiful music inside
But they're drawn by the Spirit that's pouring down
On the tent in the center of town
And revival hits like a wave
And hundreds are joyously saved
And the thief and adulterer lay it all on the altar
Cause there’s grace in the center of town
In this tent in the center of town
Where the people can gather around
Who wouldn't step foot in a church
But who aren't afraid of a good news crusade
In the tent in the center of town
The time has come to move on
To the next hurting throng
And they hope as they tear it apart
The tent will live on in their hearts
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Because of a tent in the center of town

Love this tune!!! | Reviewer: Karen | 5/16/2006
Is this a new song? I have heard it before.
It's a great song - I just have never heard something that
brings such a simple face to the picture of what I am as a
young woman coming to see in my faith, in good old
fashioned LOVE that spills out from the Gospel and through
this fellowship. It reminds me of all that is true,
all that is lovely, living in a world where it is easy to
get caught up, in the seemingly chaotic life of new fellowship.
This song represents that which is truly grace , and Truth
that Christ asks us to be and to know, just the simple-
I love this song!
