Ben Harper – Picture Of Jesus

It hangs above my altar

Like they hung Him from a cross

I keep one in my wallet

For the times 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

In His arms so many prayers rest

We’ve got a picture of Jesus

And with Him we shall be 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 was crucified by gun

He was a picture of Jesus

With Him so many prayers rest

He is a picture of Jesus

In His arms so many prayers rest

With Him we shall be forever blessed

Somedays have no beginning

Some days have no end

Some roads are straight and narrow

And some roads only bend

So let us say a prayer

For every living thing

Walking towards a light

From the cross of a King

We long to be a picture of Jesus

In His arms so many prayers rest

I long to be a picture of Jesus

With Him we shall be forever blessed.
