The Love Of Jesus

Lyrics by Jesse L. McCuin

Well, a comin’ round in the mornin’
(I said comin’ round not wakin’ up)
it was the same ol’ thing
Got no water in my body
and I could feel the sting
And my hands they were a shakin’
at the reefer’s door
As I’m reachin’ for that bottle
I had to have one more

The Telephone it is a ringin’
a friend is on the line
Hey Jess, I got to tell ya
I’ll try one more time
And man, ya got to quit your drinkin’
or it won’t be long
Till your kids are gonna miss ya
when their Daddy’s gone

CHORUS
So let the love of Jesus
shine a light on you
Let the love of Jesus
fill you through and through
Then let the love of Jesus
Shine a light on you,
Let the love of Jesus
Shine a ever loving light on you

So I stumbled through the doorway
and threw it in the can
(a big ol’ bottle of vodka)
But later in the morning
I had a change of plan
(You know what I’m talkin’ about)
I had to have that wretched bottle
so out the door I ran
But I found it had been taken
by another man
(Can you believe that?)

[Repeat Chorus]

[Harmonica Solo]

Ever in my dire condition
Cuz ya gotta do right,
But you’ll need the love of Jesus
to get ya through that night
But you should trust the love of Jesus
Cuz’ to His name be true
So let the love of Jesus
shine a light on you,
and you,
and you!

[Repeat Chorus]

Oh yeah, woo! Let the light of Jesus!
