Live With Jesus

Wynonna Judd · Wynonna [1992]

Seen a lot of trouble

At my door

I've never known a day when

I ain't been poor

But I'm gonna live

With Jesus in the end



Hard times

Is all I see

I've lost the ones

That are dear to me

But I'm gonna live

With Jesus in the end



[Chorus]



I'm gonna live

I'm gonna live

I'm gonna live

I'm gonna live

I'm gonna live

With Jesus in the end



These poor bones

Are tired and old

Meeting my savior

Redeem my soul

'Cause I'm gonna live

With Jesus



I'm gonna live

I'm gonna live

With Jesus

I'm gonna live

I'm gonna live

With Jesus in the end.
