More Country Songs for the Heart


I'm Only Jesus
by
Tim McGraw


Bobby's got a duster '79
bottle of Jack and a 45.
Points it at his head
and he starts to cry,
to proud to ask me to save his life.

Billy's in a limo
on the upper east side,
playing Russian Roulette
with the long, white line.
His wife gets a call at 3 am
saying Billy ain't never coming home again.

She asks me why?

And I said,
"I sure wish you'd believe
that everybody's free
and I'll help you if you ask Me to.
I gave every star a name
the sunshine and the rain
but I can't decide the road you choose.
That's up to you,
I'm only Jesus."

Johnny had a good job
rackin' it in.
Caviar parties
with his well to do friends.
Something was missing
from his perfect little life.
He threw in the towel
and he called Me one night.

Betty was an orphan
like so many kids;
they taught her in school
that I didn't exist.
She had every reason not to talk to me,
but every night before bed
she got down on her knees -
just to tell Me hi!

And I said,
"I'm sure glad you believe,
cause everybody's free
and I'll help you if you ask Me to.
I gave every star a name
the sunshine and the rain
but I can't decide the road you choose.
That's up to you.
I'm only Jesus."

"Hey, you're all the same to Me!
Everybody's free
and I'll help you if you ask Me to.
I gave every star a name
the sunshine and the rain
but I can't decide the road you choose;
that's up to you.
I'm only Jesus."

I'm only Jesus
I'm Only Jesus

Gotta have Jesus to see the light
Gotta have Jesus to hold you tight
Gotta have Jesus to talk to me
I gotta have Jesus to set me free
