DESCRIPTION:
I recently wrote this song to me about me. It seems that we sometimes forget that we're all sinners who've done (and do) nothing good enough to earn God's forgiveness or redemption. Virginia "Ginny" McJunkin, one of the finest authentic Mountain Music Style musician singer songwriters, recently added her banjo, guitar, foot shaker and harmony and uploaded it to her channel if you care to hear it. My lyrics appear below:
THANK YOU JESUS~
Sometimes my pride tells my heart lies
and I get to self righteous just like those pharisees
but Lord you and I know if not for the power in the blood
I'd be headed for hell faster than an Amtrak train
Chorus~
Thank you Jesus, for your sweet mercy
Thank you Father, for your love
What can I offer, I'm just a sinner
who has been washed Lord in your redeeming blood

Just as I am Lord is all you ask for
so why do I try to be something that I can't be
I don't help anybody just trying to act holy
I can fool everybody but the Holy Ghost in me
Chorus~
Thank you Jesus, for your mercy
Thank you Father, for your love
What can I offer, I'm just a sinner
who has been washed Lord in your redeeming blood

Thank you Jesus, for your mercy
Thank you Father, for your sweet love
I'm just a sinner, like all the others
who has been washed Lord in your redeeming blood
Thank you Jesus
