This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse 1

People come and go, but one thing I know

Jesus never leaves you

He's with you every day, just a prayer away

He'll always see you through

You've heard the stories,

You've heard the lies

That Jesus died but He did not rise

I tell you man that He's alive and well

Not a story sittin' on a shelf

So take your money from the wishin' well

And put your faith in Him

A E B

J.E.S.U.S. means forgiveness

All you've got to do is call on.....

A E B A E

J.E.S.U.S. and He'll be there, there for you

Verse 2

So if your down hearted,

And you need your motor started

Jesus is the fuel

If your runnin' on empty, I'm tellin' it simply

His love will keep you full
