I don't talk to him that much
I know I never pray enough
Oh but I don't know where I would be
Without Jesus here with me

I don't know why I'm still here
Or why I lived that Wednesday morn
They were raising hands and screaming holy
Jesus was right there with me

[Chorus:]

I gladly would have died that day to save the child who went away
But you can't trade a life like that, I guess it's part of the master plan
My sister fought, my daddy cried, my mama begged him for our lives
And I don't know where I would breathe
Without Jesus here with me

The preacher tried to make me learn
I memorized his favorite verse
But Hank's words they taught me everything
Thank God I saw the light for me

[Chorus:]

I gladly would have died that day to save the child who went away
But you can't trade a life like that, I guess it's part of the master plan
My sister fought my daddy cired my mama begged him for our lives
And I don't know how I would breathe
Without Jesus here with me

Before I knew his mercy, before I know his grace
I was searching for the answers in a dark and hollow place
Before I felt his presence, before I knew his face I was lost
Oh I was lost

I still don't talk to him that much
I know I never pray enough
Oh but I don't know where I would be without Jesus here with me
No there ain't no telling where I'd be without Jesus here with me
