The Night Jesus Entered the Bar

It was last call, and all, he contemplated Was should I stay here, or leave this old world When out of the blue, a stranger he knew Said Gary go home, to your little girl Do I know you there mister, what's your name Please go now, I don't want company Hey barkeep can you please tell this man It'd be best if He decided to leave He turned to look again but there was no one Gary you should go sleep in your car I'm not sure who you've seen, it's just you and me The night Jesus entered the bar You can't get to Heaven from a barstool Or find the Spirit, in the whiskey or rye One soul was saved, one life was changed The night Jesus entered the bar At that moment in his life, he found meaning How'd that stranger know who I am Gone were the days, the war memories plagued And he's no longer, stuck in Vietnam To this day if asked, he will tell you He saw a man, he can clearly describe Somehow he knew he'd met Jesus And he went cold turkey that night The night that Jesus entered the bar His soul found redemption, and so did his heart It ain't often that a man, gets a new start The night Jesus entered the bar There's no place He won't go, to help save a lost soul The night that Jesus entered the bar....

Thanks for the look lyric man! Ive looked at several of your writes as well. Very nice. We take different approaches but seem to be living somewhat parallel lives. Keep up the good work.
