CAPO UP 4 G FOR KEY OF B
A Picture Of Jesus
Recorded by Nancy Moore
Written by Dixie Hall and Tom T. Hall
G D7 G
On a journey through the mountains of Virginia
D7 G
I stopped a while to visit with a friend
C G
She ran the country store like her daddy had before
A7 D7
Nothing much had changed since way back then
G D7 G
I stood looking at a wall of faded pictures
D7 G
Some of them beginning to turn brown
C G
John and uncle Jim up there with Loretta Lynn
D7 G G7
And everybody who had been in town
C G
Pictures on the wall famous people one and all
D7 G
Their pictures were hanging on the wall
D7 G
Among them all I saw the face of Jesus
D7 G
With the big celebrities we know so well
C G
When I asked her why she gave me this reply
A7 D7
She said that's a story that I love to tell
G D7 G
She said it was a year ago come Sunday
D7 G
An old man with a bible came to call
C G
He said do you love Jesus she said yes sir
D7 G G7
But he just looked up sadly at the wall
C G
Pictures on the wall famous people on the wall
D7 G
No pictures of Jesus on the wall
D7 G
Full of shame she ran to get a picture
D7 G
She put Jesus in the middle of the store
C G
She turned to thank the stranger for his wisdom
D7 G G7
There was just a patch of sunlight on the floor
C G
Pictures on the wall famous people one and all
D7 G
A picture of Jesus on the wall
