Picture of Jesus - Live at the Apollo

It hangs above my altar
Like they hung him from a cross
I keep one in my wallet
For the times that I feel lost

In a wooden frame with splinters
Where my family kneels to pray
And if you listen close
You'll hear the words he used to say

I've got a picture of Jesus (of Jesus)
In his arms my prayers rest (my prayers rest)
You know that I've got a picture of Jesus (of Jesus)
And with him we shall be forever blessed (forever blessed)

Now it has been spoken
He would come again
But would we recognize
This king among men?

There was a man in our time
His words shine bright like the sun
He tried to lift the masses
And he was crucified by gun

Now, he was a picture of Jesus (of Jesus)
In his arms so many of our prayers rest (prayers rest)
You know that he is a picture of Jesus (of Jesus)
With him we shall be forever blessed (forever blessed)
I said with him we shall be, oh, forever, forever, forever blessed (forever blessed)
Forever blessed, forever
For ah, forever, forever

Now, some days have no beginning
Some days have no end
Some roads are straight and narrow
But now some roads only bend

So let us say a prayer
For every living thing
Walking towards the light
From the cross of a king

Now, I've got a picture of Jesus (of Jesus)
Oh, in his arms so many of my prayers rest (my prayers)
You know that I've got a picture of Jesus (of Jesus)
And with him we shall be forever blessed (forever blessed)
With him we shall be forever blessed (forever blessed)
I said with him we shall be for, for, for, forever, forever, oh forever, forever blessed (forever blessed)

Forever blessed
Forever blessed
