Verse 1:
D                 Bm           G       D
 First time I met Jesus…  was down in Georgia
D      Bm                 G           D
 On a vacant lot…  in an old revival tent
      D            Bm       G                   D
 The preacher was callin’…  to all the lowdown sinners
 D             Bm                          G               D
 I wasn’t but nine years old…  but I went runnin’ down to him
Bm                   G              Bm                          A
 And my momma cried…  and so did I…  ‘cause my little soul was saved

 Next time I met Jesus…  I was full of whiskey
D                Bm           G                D
 Fourteen years later on…  a washboard gravel road
D                      Bm    G                D
 Must have been doin’ sixty…  when I hit the water
D                      Bm                   G                  D
 That old car started sinkin’ fast…  and I thought that I was gone
Bm                         G                       Bm                       A
 And there ain’t no doubt…  that He pulled me out…  or I wouldn’t be here today

Chorus 1:
D                      Bm
 I know I’ve hurt Him…  and I don’t deserve Him…
G                        D  A
 But He sits by me anyway
D                     Bm
 Do you know anybody…  who would help somebody…
G                                  A
 After they’ve slapped Him in the face

 Only Jesus…          Only Jesus…

Verse 2:
D                Bm     G                        D
 Last time I met Jesus…  was at the birth of my daughter
D                   Bm                 G                     D
 With all that I’d done wrong…  I was afraid it wouldn’t go right
D             Bm             G                   D
 But she came in this world…  nothin’ less than perfect
D                     Bm               G           D
 Her little face was shining in…  His ever loving light
Bm                       G                      Bm                        A
 And I thanked Him then…  like I thank Him now…  when I’m layin’ down at night

Chorus 2:
D                          Bm
 And I know I’ve hurt Him…  and I don’t deserve Him…
G                        D  A
 But He sits by me anyway

 Do you know anybody…  who would help somebody…

 After they’ve slapped Him in the face
