I Met Jesus In A Bar
Jim Lauderdale
Album: Country Super Hits, Vol. 1
[Chorus]
G Am
I met Jesus in a bar
D G
I guess you just can't fall too far
Am
I was pourin' whiskey in an empty heart
C G
When I met Jesus in a bar
G Am
Man or angel, son of God he did not tell me who he was, but I knew
D G
In that least expected place I saw heaven in His face and couldn't move
G7
We sat there for hours, I could feel His grace and power
C Am
And I said things I'd never told a soul
D G
I asked for forgiveness, he said I've already done this don't you know?
[Chorus]
G Am
I met Jesus in a bar
D G
I guess you just can't fall too far
Am
I was pourin' whiskey in an empty heart
D C
When I met Jesus in a bar
[Instrumental]
Am C G
G Am
I started cryin' in my hands when I looked up again, He was gone
D
Then I walked the whole way home for the first time knowin'
G
I was not alone
G7
Some meet Him on the highway, some meet him on a Sunday
C Am
on the back row of the church
D G
I can only tell you my way was in a place where people go to hurt
[Chorus]
G Am
I met Jesus in a bar
D G
I guess you just can't fall too far
Am
I was pourin' whiskey in an empty heart
D G
When I met Jesus in a bar
Am Bm C
I was pourin' whiskey in an empty heart
D G
When I met Jesus in a bar
