Don't pour me no whiskey, water will do just fine
I made a resolution, Lord knows that it was time
The drunken ways of my younger days, don't haunt me any more
Let me tell you about my friend Jesus, before I walk out the door
I was in this same place, a couple of years ago
When I ran into a young man, that I didn't know
I didn't know the reason, he came to me that day
And I began to worry, when I heard him say
(chorus)
He said, hi my name is Jesus, in case you didn't know
I died to wash your sins away, two thousand years ago
I was sent back down to earth, forever more to roam
And I'm here because the time has come for me to take you home
My body started shaking, and I began to cry
I have a wife and family, and I'm too young to die
Jesus said don't worry, as we walked out the door
We're not going to my house, I'm taking you to yours
We went past the wreck I'd have, if I had been alone
Past all the broken bodies, that would never make it home
He got me safely home that night, then he disappeared
But I still hear the words of Jesus, echo in my ears
(chorus)
He said, hi my name is Jesus, in case you didn't know
I died to wash your sins away, two thousand years ago
I was sent back down to earth, forever more to roam
And I'm here because the time has come for me to take you home
Yes, I'm here because the time has come for me to take you home

Good tune David. Country & inspirational in one. You did this nice. BJ has a good voice. This song goes in great time with the tragedy the U.S. is facing right now. Beautiful lyrics. -Devin

Great lyrics, great singing. Really strong chorus. I really like this line - "Jesus said don’t worry, as we walked out the door
We’re not going to my house, I’m taking you to yours." Very good tune.
