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
pre-chorus
You've heard the stories,
You've heard the lies
That Jesus died but He did not rise
riff 1
pre-chorus
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
