[D] [G]
[C]
Day follows night, [G]
night follows day, [A] this old world keeps rolling [D]
along.
[G]
What will your answer be?
[C]
What will [Am] you say [D] when Jesus beckons [G] you home?
[C]
His name was Jimmy.
He wasn't very [G] old, about 10 or 11 years since birth.
But [A] you wouldn't call life for Jimmy heaven on earth.
He [D] lived in a big town in the north part of the nation.
His mom and [G] dad had forsaken him, so he had to sell newspapers to stay off [Am] starvation.
His mom and dad loved the night light.
[D] Jimmy was just too much bother.
But I wonder if they'll [G] still feel the same way when they stand before my heavenly father.
[C]
One day as Jimmy carried his papers along, [G] he passed by an old gospel mission.
He heard the preacher [A] inside say, come to the altar, my Jesus will [D] give you a new life and a better way.
Jimmy's feet were [G] cold, his eyes watering.
Inside it might be safer.
[Am] So Jimmy said, I'll go in, and if I see Jesus, [D]
I'll give him a paper.
So Jimmy walked in and he [G] sat down.
And when the last altar call was given,
[C] Jimmy walked down the aisle, laid his paper bag on the altar, [G] and lifted his watery eyes toward heaven.
And he said, [A] Jesus, this is Jimmy.
Jesus, [D]
this is Jimmy.
So from that day [G] on, when Jimmy would pass by the old gospel mission,
he'd walk down the [C] aisle, lay his paper bag on [Am] the altar, and lift his little face [D] toward heaven.
And he'd say, Jesus, this is [G] Jimmy.
Jesus, this is Jimmy.
[C]
One day Jimmy rushed to the little gospel mission.
[G] Inside the preacher was having a council meeting.
Jimmy didn't realize he [A] was disturbing anyone with his unusual prayer.
But the preacher [D] came and took him by the arm and said, boy, can't you see that we're busy?
[G] Why do you keep interrupting us with that simple, unusual prayer?
[C] Jesus, this is Jimmy.
[Am] Jimmy said, preacher, [D] all my life I've never known how to pray.
But now I just want [G] the Lord to know my name.
The preacher said, that doesn't matter, boy.
[C] You'll have to stop it just the same.
So one more [G] time Jimmy pushed aside.
He left with tears in his eyes, [A] but he said, I can make it.
It was a cold day.
[D] Jimmy slipped on the curb.
A big truck hit him on the run.
[G] The preacher inside caught a glimpse of the scene, feeling bad about what he'd [Am] done.
He rushed to the little boy and took him in his arms, and to the [D] nearest hospital they fled.
The doctor was standing by.
The [G] preacher was there too.
They heard little Jimmy speaking in bed.
[C]
Jesus, this is Jimmy.
The [G] doctor felt his pulse, and then he turned to the preacher and said, his short life [A] here on earth will soon be through.
The preacher said with a [D] panic in his voice, oh dear God, what can we do?
[G] Then all of a sudden the room lit up with a strange and beautiful light, [C] meaning that someone was about to speak, [Am] but that someone was not in [D] sight.
The preacher cried, if Jimmy could [Dm] only be well, [G] dear God, how it would please us.
It was then that a still small [C] voice spoke in a kind and gentle way, [G] Jimmy, this is Jesus.
Jimmy, [A]
this is Jesus.
Suffer the little [D] children and forbid them not to come unto me, [G] for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Day [C]

night follows day, this [A] old world keeps rolling [D]
along.
