Me and Jesus - Tom T. Hall
(Chorus:)
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.
(Chorus)
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.
(Chorus)
탐티홀 목사인 아버지로 부터 날카로운 통찰력을 이어받아 주로 그가 본 인생의 모습 그리고 다양한 성격의 사람들 그가 경험해 본 사실등의 내용으로 노래를 만들기 시작 하였다.
그의 발라드는 이야기꾼으로서 명성을 얻게 해주었고 그것을 바탕으로 책과 소설을 출판하여 그의 명성은 더욱 확고해졌다.그의 가스펠곡 'Me and Jesus' 입니다.
