Where I Met Jesus



Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan



Bessie can still remember

Like it was yesterday

She watched her husband, Oliver

Kneel in the church and pray

That was what she had been hoping for

Still she was so surprised

Was that a glow upon his face?

Or just the tears in her eyes?



Hed always been a quiet man

Everyone saw the change

Reaching to take a strangers hand

Asking to know their name

Sunday mornings theyd be in church

And after the pastor prayed

Year after year with a voice so dear

Bessie would hear him say



CHORUS:

This is where I met Jesus

I heard him calling my name

I was so glad to meet Him

He was so glad I came



Oh, how she misses Oliver

Now that she lives alone

One night while they were sound asleep

The angels took her love home

Oh, how she cried

There were no goodbyes

It seemed he was gone so soon

Then one night she heard his voice

When she walked into their room



CHORUS (repeat)



Bessie, one day youll do the same
