Lyrics
JESUS IN A DRAWER
Words and music by Stephen Amos and Alexia Counce-Wilgers
SO THIS IS WHERE MY LIFE HAS GONE,
A DOUBLE BED NIGHT STAND AND LAMP,
YOU TOLD THAT I HAD TO FIX WHAT WAS WRONG,
AND I TOLD YOU I DON'T GIVE A DAMN,
THRU THE SMOKE AND THE HAZE DRINKIN' JACK DANIELS STRAIGHT,
I HAD NOTHIN' LEFT WORTH LIVIN' FOR,
BUT IN A MOTEL 6 OFF RURAL ROUTE 9 I FOUND JESUS IN A DRAWER,
CHORUS
HE'S ALWAYS BEEN HERE FOR FOLKS WHO CAN SEE,
FOR SAINTS AND FOR SINNERS AND BEGINNERS LIKE ME,
HE WASHES OUR SINS HE EVENS THE SCORE,
I FOUND JESUS IN A DRAWER,
YOU KNOW I WASN'T RAISED IN THE CHURCH,
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW BUT I PRAYED,
I STARTED READIN' EVEN WHEN MY EYES BURNED,
AND I KEPT TURNING PAGE AFTER PAGE,
I LEARNED WHAT HE TAUGHT THE BATTLES HE FOUGHT,
NEVER GAVE UP HE CAME BACK FOR MORE,
IN A MOTEL 6 OFF RURAL ROUTE 9 I FOUND JESUS IN A DRAWER,
I CAN'T KEEP RUNNIN' THAT'S JUST A FACT,
THIS IS MY SECOND COMIN' IF YOU'LL HAVE ME BACK,
CHORUS
REPEAT "I FOUND JESUS" AND END
