Sweet Jesus
written by John Ford Coley/ Keegan Music, BMI and Kim Copeland/Sage House Music , ASCAP.
Eight years old, in the last church pew
I prayed for a bike and a football too
Daddy’d said no, so I thought I’d ask you
I’d heard the preacher say, there’s nothing You can’t do
I prayed for a bike and a football too
Daddy’d said no, so I thought I’d ask you
I’d heard the preacher say, there’s nothing You can’t do
1st CHORUS
So help me, Sweet Jesus
I can’t do this on my own
I promise, Sweet Jesus
If you give me this, I’ll be good from now on
I can’t do this on my own
I promise, Sweet Jesus
If you give me this, I’ll be good from now on
Twenty years old, I was running wild
Caught up to my dreams, I was living in style
Whatever I wanted, was mine for a smile
But somehow I lost touch with you for awhile
Caught up to my dreams, I was living in style
Whatever I wanted, was mine for a smile
But somehow I lost touch with you for awhile
2nd CHORUS
Where were you, Sweet Jesus?
I guess I did this, all on my own
What happened, Sweet Jesus?
I just turned around and one day You were gone
I guess I did this, all on my own
What happened, Sweet Jesus?
I just turned around and one day You were gone
BRIDGE
But now I’m being chased by what I was running to
Blinded by the darkness, that seemed like light and truth
Every road I took only led me back to You
Back to You, back to You, always home to You
Blinded by the darkness, that seemed like light and truth
Every road I took only led me back to You
Back to You, back to You, always home to You
Now here I sit again, in the last church pew
I got something to say that’s long overdue
If my prayers can still get through
When all is said and done, all I want is You
I got something to say that’s long overdue
If my prayers can still get through
When all is said and done, all I want is You
3RD CHORUS
Without You, Sweet Jesus
My heart is just a hollow space
Thank you, Sweet Jesus
I know all the time, I’ve been swimming in Your grace
Help me, Sweet Jesus
To find the faith I misplaced
My heart is just a hollow space
Thank you, Sweet Jesus
I know all the time, I’ve been swimming in Your grace
Help me, Sweet Jesus
To find the faith I misplaced
