I stumbled on a preacher Sunday mornin' All decked out and made up for TV Askin' for some money from God's people Talkin' all that high theology Well I might be just an old blue collar There's things about the Lord that I don't know But I bet he never had a million dollars Or wore a lot of stylish fancy clothes 'Cause Jesus was a country boy Walkin' down a dirt road, with everything that he owned He never met a stanger Born in a barn underneath the stars His momma laid him in a manger Swimmin' in the river Fishin' for his dinner Livin' with the sinners like me Makes me think that Jesus was a country boy My daddy never cared much for religion And my momma worried a lot about his soul She'd hit her knees and pray for him on Sunday While daddy hit his favorite fishin' hole You see daddy was a rebel and a rambler But I always knew he loved my momma so I never doubted he'd make it to heaven 'Cause it ain't who you are It's who you know And daddy knew That Jesus was a country boy Walkin' down a dirt road, with everything that he owned He never met a stanger Born in a barn underneath the stars His momma laid him in a manger Swimmin' in the river Fishin' for his dinner Livin' with the sinners like me Makes me think, that Jesus was a country boy Oh yes and I believe That Jesus was a country boy

If I was Jesus I'd have some real long hair A robe and some sandals, is exactly what I'd wear I'd be the guy at the party Turning water into wine Me and my disciples We'd have a real good time Oooh and I'd lay my life down for you Yeah, and I'd show you who's the boss I'd forgive you and adore you While I was hangin' on your cross If I was Jesus I'd have some friends that were poor I'd run around with the wrong crowd Man I'd never be bored Then I'd heal me a blind man Get myself crucified By politicians and preachers Who got something to hide Oooh and I'd lay my life down for you Yeah, I'd show you who's the boss I'd forgive you and adore you While I was hangin' on your cross If I was Jesus Break If I was Jesus I'd come back from the dead And I'd walk on some water Just to mess with your head I know your dark little secrets I'd look you right in the face And tell you I love you With amazing grace Oooh and I'd lay my life down for you Yeah, I'd show you who's the boss I'd forgive you and adore you While I was hangin' on your cross If I was Jesus If I was Jesus

Every time I tried to make it on my own Every time I tried to stand and start to fall And all those lonely roads that I have travelled on There was Jesus When the life I built came crashing to the ground When the friends I had were nowhere to be found I couldn't see it then but I can see it now There was Jesus In the waiting, in the searching In the healing and the hurting Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces Every minute, every moment Where I've been and where I'm going Even when I didn't know it or couldn't see it There was Jesus For this man who needs amazing kind of grace (Mmm) For forgiveness at a price I couldn't pay (Mmm) I'm not perfect so I thank God every day There was Jesus (There was Jesus) In the waiting, in the searching In the healing and the hurting Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces Every minute, every moment Where I've been and where I'm going Even when I didn't know it or couldn't see it There was Jesus On the mountain, in the valleys (There was Jesus) In the shadows of the alleys (There was Jesus) In the fire, in the flood (There was Jesus) Always is and always was No I never walk alone (Never walk alone) You are always there In the waiting, in the searching In the healing and the hurting Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces Every minute (Every minute), every moment (Every moment) Where I've been and where I'm going Even when I didn't know it or couldn't see it There was Jesus There was Jesus There was Jesus There was Jesus
