Nancy Moore - A Picture Of Jesus lyrics

On a journey through the
Mountains of Virginia
I stopped a while to visit with a friend
She ran the country store like
Her daddy had before
Nothing much had changed since way back then

I stood looking at a wall of faded pictures
Some of them beginning to turn brown
John and uncle Jim up there with Loretta Lynn
And everybody who had been through town

Pictures on the wall famous
People one and all
Their pictures were hanging on the wall

Among them all I saw the face of Jesus
With the big celеbrities we know so well
Whеn I asked her why she gave me this reply
She said that's a story that I love to tell

She said it was a year ago come Sunday
An old man with a bible came to call
He said do you love Jesus she said yes sir
But he just looked up sadly at the wall

Pictures on the wall famous
People on the wall
No pictures of Jesus on the wall

Full of shame she ran to get a picture
She put Jesus in the middle of the store
She turned to thank the
Stranger for his wisdom
There was just a patch of
Sunlight on the floor

Pictures on the wall famous
People one and all
A picture of Jesus on the wall
