Picture of Jesus, by Ben Harper. Powerful, understated music, allowing the lyrics to say it all.
"Picture Of Jesus"
It hangs above my altar
Like they hung him from a cross
I keep one in my wallet
For the times I feel lost I feel lost In a wooden frame with splinters
Where my family kneels to pray
And if you listen close
You'll hear the words he used to say
I've got a picture of Jesus In his arms so many prayers rest
We've got a picture of Jesus
And with him we shall be forever blessed
Forever blessed Forever blessed
Now it has been spoken
He would come again But would we recognize
This king among men
There was a man in our time
His words shine bright like the sun
He tried to lift the masses And was crucified by gun
He was a picture of Jesus With him so many prayers rest
He is a picture of Jesus In his arms so many prayers
So many prayers So many prayers rest
With him we shall be forever blessed
Forever blessed Forever blessed
Some days have no beginning
And some days have no end
Some roads are straight and narrow
And some roads only bend So let us say a prayer For every living thing
Walking towards a light From the cross of a king
We long to be a picture of Jesus
Of Jesus In his arms In his arms so many prayers rest
I long to be a picture of Jesus
With him we shall be forever blessed
With him we shall With him we shall be forever blessed
Oh- Oh- I long I've got a picture of Jesus Mmhh
