Walking With Jesus

[reeann]

My mama was born and raised in West Virginia. Her and my father always loved all sorts of music, but folk and especially bluegrass was always played when I was growing up.I fought again bluegrass music all my life, but especially as a rebellious teenager. I would run from the room if Mamma or dad played any. They start singing at the top of their lungs.Well, since Jesus has given me a new heart, I have come to embrace the bluegrass music, and I always hear a song about Jesus from those roots that really speaks to my heart. Today I heard this one and I just wanted to share it with you all. Thank you Mamma <B>On The Jericho Road</B>


As you travel along on the Jericho Road
Does the world seem all wrong and heavy your load
Just bring it to Christ your sins all confess
On the Jericho Road your heart He will bless

Chorus: On the Jericho Road there's room for just two
No more and no less just Jesus and you
Each burden He'll bear each sorrow He'll share
There's never a care for Jesus is there.

On the Jericho Road blind Bartimaeus sat
His life was a void so empty and flat
But Jesus appeared, one word brought him sight
On the Jericho Road Christ banished his night.

Chorus:

Oh, brother, to you this message I bring
Though hope may be gone, He'll cause you to sing
At Jesus' command sins shackles must fall
On the Jericho Road you will answer His call.

P.S.&nbsp; i'm trying to fix this font thing, *sighs* I'm not very good at making my text pretty

2 Samuel 22:50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.

You know I kinda did something similiar, but as an adult and it was peer pressure of all things. The "church" I attended where I gave my life to back to Jesus was more of a "rock" type church and they made fun of country, southern gospel and other types of music. I would turn my nose up at the other types of music, even though each time I would catch someone on TV or in other various situations, I would find myself glued to listening to the songs. I think deep in my soul, all types of music stirs my heart and draws me nearer to the Lord, especially those songs that I can relate to.

There's no one I would rather walk with than Jesus
There's no place I would want to walk without Jesus leading the way.
May His Spirit always dwell within us, throughout all of our travels.
