Got Jesus and My Guitar
By: Nancy G. Brundrett
I once had a dear friend
A gift truer than true
Then my life crashed in
Our colors all turned to blue
Through my tears I hear the words to
"It’s a beautiful day"
I once had a lover
With golden hair and blue, blue eyes
Sometimes all day we’d just stare up at the sky
But he went eastward
And I went down
To ole’ lonesome town
But I got Jesus and got my guitar
My bleeding heart is a vessel
Not half, but whole
So I’m singing from the depths of my soul
I got Jesus and I got my guitar
I once had a life, a family
Just one more look now so I can see
Hello momma, you too dad
You both left quickly
I remember all the good times we had
I once had a song
Did you see her cry?
All this bad weather
My soul reaches up to try
Praying to the heavens up above
Restore me with the peace of a morning dove
Restore my world
with just one swing of your sword
My heart, my soul
need to be restored
Human words always get in the way
I must be prayerful until I know what to say
But I look around at the joy I've found in this rain
Take me back to a place, a time, a space, maybe start again
Until then,
I got Jesus and got my guitar
My bleeding heart is a vessel
Not half, but whole
So I’m singing from the depths of my soul
I got Jesus and my guitar
I got Jesus and my guitar
I got Jesus and my guitar
I got Jesus
