A Day Without Jesus

[Chorus]
He never lived a day without Jesus

[Verse 1]
I was standing in the valley
When they brought young Willie home
And I'll never forget the way my ma cried
When they laid him in the ground

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The preacher preached a sermon
And they sang some sad, sad songs
But I know that I'll meet him in heaven

[Chorus]
Cause he never lived a day without Jesus

[Verse 2]
Willie, he had seen the world
By the time he was 21
And mama, she was so proud now
So proud of a soldier son

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But Willie never, ever dreamed
That he'd shoot another man down
So God, You've got to forgive him

[Chorus]
Cause he never lived a day without Jesus

[Verse 3]
Lord, he is my brother
And he'll always be my fried
So please, won't You understand him
And lend him a helping hand if he needs one?

And I know somewhere in a foreign land
Another mother cries
And there must be a brother
Who stands and wonders why

Who will be the next to go?
Lord, who's going to live or die?
And who's going to be the son who's left
To dry his mama's eyes?
So God, You've got to forgive him

[Chorus]
Cause he never lived a day without Jesus
He never lived a day without Jesus
He never lived a day, he never lived a day
He never lived a day without Jesus
He never lived a day, he never lived a day
He never lived a day without Jesus
