Jesus On My Mind
Parody of "Gentle On My Mind" by John Hartford as performed by Glen Campbell
Parody Lyrics by Monty R. Ray, a.k.a. the CyberSaddleTramp
and God's path is free to walk
That makes me want to kneel down on my knees
and thank my Lord for all He's done
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by the bonds of sin and shame
or some ancient words on hallowed stones of time
That keeps Him ever present like a river through my mem'ry
that keeps my Savior gentle on my mind
Now I'm clinging to the Rock, and it's His saving grace
through faith alone that binds me
Not some doctrines that false prophets taught
because they sought to keep us all in bondage
It's just knowing that the world was so worth saving and forgiving
that He gave Himself a ransom for mankind
His Spirit's on the backroads by the rivers of my mem'ry
and for hours my Lord is gentle on my mind
Though the troubles and the worries
and the struggles of this world would come between us
Then He comes to me so caring
and He comforts me and tarries 'til they're gone
I run with perseverence, the course He set before me
and when it's done I know that I will find
He's waiting there so patiently to meet me on the backroads
where His Spirit's blowing gentle on my mind
I sip His cup of blood poured from
the loving, living cov'nant of God's vineyard
And I break the bread of life bought with
the stripes upon His wounded broken body
Through scarred hands His grace began
as He draws me now unto His rest I find
He is calling from the heavens near the rivers of my memory
and forever I'll have Jesus on my mind
