Oh, it hangs above my altar [D] like they hung him from [A] a cross.
I keep one in my wallet [E] for the times that I feel lost.
[A] And wooden frame was splintered [D] when my family needed [A] to pray.
And if you listen close, you'll hear [E] the words he [A] used to say.
I've got a picture [D] of [A] Jesus in his arms, my [E] brethren.
[A] You know, I've got a picture [D] of [F] Jesus.
[Am] And with [A] him, we [E] shall be [D] forever [A]
blest.
It has been spoken, [D] he will [A] come again.
Would we recognize [D] [E] this king among men?
[A] There was a man in our time, his [D] words shined bright like the [A] sun.
He tried to lift the masses and was [E] crucified [A] by none.
Now, he was a picture [D] of [A] Jesus in his arms, my [E] brethren.
Oh, let the prayers rest.
[A] He was our picture [D] of Jesus.
[F]
[A] And with him, we shall [E]
be [D] forever [A] blest.
With him, we shall be [E] long [D] forever, [A] forever, forever [C] blest.
[D]
[Am]
[C] Forever, [D]
[A] forever blest.
[C] [Dm]
Forever.
[F]
[A] Now, some days have no beginning.
[D] Some days have no [A] end.
Some roads are straight and narrow.
But now, [E] some roads are only bend.
So [A] let us say a prayer [D] for every living [A] thing.
Walking towards the light from [E] the [A] cross of the king.
I've got a picture [D] of [A] Jesus.
Oh, in his arms, my
[E] brethren.
[A] You know that I've got a picture of [D]
[F] Jesus.
[A] And with him, we [E] shall be [D]
forever [A] blest.
With him, we shall [E] be [D] forever [A] blest.
I [D] think that we [A] shall be [D] forever [A] blest.
[D]
[F]
[Am] [A]
Forever blest.
Forever blest.
