We learn about the grace of God from the grace we get from others, and then we hear about it in country songs.
LIKE JESUS DOES
I’m a long-gone Waylon song on vinyl
I’m a back row sitter at a tent revival
But she believes in me like she believes her Bible
And loves me like Jesus does
I’m a lead foot leaning on a souped up Chevy
I’m a good ol’ boy, drinkin’ whiskey and rye on the levee
But she carries me when my sins make me heavy
And loves me like Jesus does
All the crazy in my dreams
And both my broken wings
Every single piece of everything I am
And she knows the man I ain’t
She forgives me when I can’t
The devil, man, no, he don’t stand a chance
‘Cause she loves me like Jesus does
I always thought she’d give up on me one day
Wash her hands of me, leave me staring down some runway
But I thank God each night and twice on Sunday
That she loves me like Jesus does
All the crazy in my dreams
And both my broken wings
Every single piece of who I am
Yeah, she knows the man I ain’t
She forgives me when I can’t
And the devil, man, no, he don’t have a prayer
‘Cause she loves me like Jesus does
Yeah, she knows the man I ain’t
She forgives me when I can’t
That devil, man, he don’t stand a chance
She loves me like Jesus does
