Me And Jesus - Tom T Hall (1972)
“Me And Jesus” is one of Hall’s slyest, most subversive and irresistible concoctions, a rollicking celebration of faith.
The song reached #8 on the U.S. country charts in 1972.



Me and Jesus, got our own thing goin'.
Me and Jesus, got it all worked out.
Me and Jesus, got our own thing goin'.
We don't need anybody to tell us what it's all about.

I know a man, who once was a sinner.
I know a man, who once was a drunk.
And I know a man, who once was a looser.
He went out one day and made an alter out of a stump.

Jesus brought me through all of my troubles.
Jesus brought me through all of my trials.
Jesus brought me through all of my heartaches.
And I know that Jesus ain't gonna' forsake me now.

We can't afford any fancy preachin'.
We can't afford any fancy church.
We can't afford any fancy singin'.
You know Jesus got a lot of poor people out doin' his work.
