By Jack Joseph Smith

Jesus I never had a thought until I thought about you When I looked up just to see myself So many times I just keep doing it that way Then I took a look at you, my Loard And you said go ahead and do your acting out As many times as you like, don't worry, we will win We; Jesus, how can that make life Pray for me for I am still rising And thank you for thanking me We will walk the road that never ends

The poem gives Jesus a companionable, practical voice, turning prayer and self-searching into an ongoing road shared with a figure who answers with confidence rather than judgment.

The verified transcript makes the exchange more direct. Jesus is not distant here; he sounds like someone beside the speaker, allowing the acting out and promising that the road continues.

Jesus. Never had a thought until I thought about you. Looked up just to see myself. Took a look at you, my Lord, and you said go ahead and do your acting out — as many times as you like, don't worry, we will win. Pray for me for I am still rising. We will walk the road that never ends.
