J.D. Souther Jesus In 3/4 Time written by J.D. Souther
If I gave you my blessing and bid you goodby
And something is holding me down
Once I was baptized but that was all right
Now If I just can be found
Living with Jesus day after day nobody lives quite that way
Blessed insurance is one thing to know and another to sing in a song
Well the family possessions passed on to me
No longer fit in my hands
Once I was saved that one was free
I'd be pleased to know just where I stand
Living for Jesus making it pay well nobody lives quite that long
SOLO
Once I was baptized but now I am free singing that new gospel song
Singing higher and higher and higher
