I stood out by the gravel [A] road, a kid just [E] ten years old, [A] waiting [E] for the old man I knew would [B] come along.
[E] He would stop under the old oak tree where I played in the sand, sit down and talk about Jesus, [B] old Jay the Jesus [E] man.
Everybody would make fun of him, no one wanted him around.
He lived in a shack and his clothes were [B] hand-me-down.
[E] His wife left him years ago, [A] she did not understand how Jesus [E] changed the drunkard to Jay the Jesus man.
[A] Old Jake had the kind of [E] eyes that never seen before, [A] they would light up like the stars [E] when he talked about the [B] Lord.
His voice got soft and tender [A] when he told [E] Salvation's plan, [A] how Jesus died [E] for sinners, [B] old Jake the Jesus [E] man.
Well I grew up, became a man, hearing old Jake say that Jesus died on Calvary to wash my sins [B] away.
[E] I gave my heart to Jesus one day there in the sand, [A] and got on the [Em] road to heaven with Jake [E] the Jesus man.
Now to me old Jake was special, I'll never [Em] forget the day [A] that mama called [E] to tell me old Jake had [B] passed away.
[E] They found him by the gravel [A] road, an old Bible in his hand, and a smile [E] upon his weathered [B] face, old Jake the [E] Jesus man.
[A] Now old Jake lives in a mansion, he [E] walks on the streets of gold, [A] no one makes fun of him [Em] and he has the [B] finest gold.
[E] Someday I'm gonna join him there [Em] on that golden sand, he said I'll wait for you there old [E] Jake the Jesus man.
[A] Yeah he said I'll [E] wait for you there son, [B] old Jake the [E] Jesus man.
