[E]
[D] [F] [A] It hangs above my altar [D] like they hung him from [A] a cross.
I keep one in my wallet for [E] the times that I feel lost.
[A] In a wooden frame with splinters where [D] my family kneels [A] to pray.
If you listen close, you'll hear [E] the words he used [A] to say.
Now, I've got a picture [D] of Jesus [A] in his arms, my [E] prayer is made.
[A] I've got a picture [D] of Jesus, [F] with him [E] we shall be [D] forever [A] made.
It has been spoken, [D] he would come [A] again.
Little would we recognize this [E] King of women.
[A] There was a man in our time, [D] his words shined bright [A] like the sun.
He tried to lift the masses and [E] he was crucified [A] by gun.
Now, he was a picture [D] of [Am] Jesus, [A] in his arms so [E] many of our prayers rest.
[A] You know that he is a picture [D] of [F] Jesus, [A] with him we [E] shall be [D] forever.
[A] With him we [E] shall be [D] forever, [A] forever, [C] forever blessed.
[D]
[Am] Forever blessed, [C] [D]
[Am] [C] forever, [D]
[F] forever.
[A] Now, some days have no beginning, some days have no end.
Some roads are straight and narrow, but now some roads [E] only bend.
[A] So let us say a prayer [D] for every living [A] thing.
Walking towards the light from the [E] cross.
Now, I've got a picture of [A] Jesus, oh in his arms, so many of my [E] prayers [A] rest.
Picture [D] of Jesus, [F] [A] with him we shall be [D] forever [A] blessed.
With him [Em] we shall [E] be forever [A]
blessed.
I said with him we shall be forever
[D] blessed.
[F]
[G] [A]
Forever blessed.
