Andy Chunn Poet Lyric

Where Did My Jesus Go

Where did my Jesus go
The one I loved so long ago
I wonder if he’s still around
I wonder if he can be found

As a child, in my youth
Jesus used to be the truth
Everything was black and white
Jesus taught me wrong from right

As the world passed me by
The flash of life caught my eye
And was my Jesus there
Couldn’t find him anywhere

I saw the way our lives were run
I saw the way that things got done
I wondered if Jesus was there
Wondered if he could even care

Couldn’t find him in the bank
Or lying drunk in the tank
Jesus are you at the bar
Or riding in a police car

Crazy dreams come in my head
Got to thinking Jesus dead
Then I looked around to see
If he was really part of me

Black and white turn shades of gray
Jesus lives for one more day
He ain’t dead, at least in part
He’s living right here in my heart

Jeff Kyser October 8, 2022 at 6:53 PM I like this Andy. He inhabits the hearts of those who seek/knock/ask. I don’t think much of the world looks for Him these days Andy Chunn October 9, 2022 at 8:53 PM I tend to agree. I wrote this nearly 45 years ago but it still applies. Seek/knock/ask....nicely put.
