Thank you very much.
sing you a tune here from a CD I did three years ago.
I'm a [A] Christian, but I'm not what you'd consider a Christian artist, you know what I'm saying?
[B] Like a Christian that just [E] does
do everything from [Bm] churches to casinos [A] and beer joints and all kind of things,
[A] He would.
being able to [C#] kind of fly under [A] the radar and do [Dm] that and just take a lot of love and hope
[E] And [Am] so I really [N] think that's what the church should be doing.

Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
_ I'd like to sing _ _ you a tune here from a _ CD I did three years ago.
_ _ _ _ _ I'm a _ [A] Christian, but I'm not what you'd consider a Christian artist, you know what I'm saying?
[B] Like a Christian that just [E] does_
I mean, we do everything from [Bm] churches to casinos [A] and beer joints and all kind of things,
because _ we think [Fm] that's where the Lord would go.
[A] _ He would.
So anyway, we just love being able to [C#] kind of fly under [A] the radar and _ do [Dm] that and just take a lot of love and hope
and truth to folks.
[E] _ And [Am] so I really [N] think that's what the church should be doing.
It [B] gets a little isolated sometimes in the four [E] walls that it likes to get in.
_ _ _ _ Anyway, this record is not [Am] a bluegrass CD and it's not a country CD.
I don't know what [D] you'd call it necessarily.
The music is real different.
A great songwriter named [Dm] Gordon Kennedy co-wrote all the songs for the [A] record and co-produced it with me.
I hope you get [Em] a chance to pick up a copy.
We got some with us today.
[A] And I think we only brought three CDs, so anybody want to_
three boxes of CDs.
[Em] _ [A] And anyway, I'll be over there after [Em] the show in a little bit and we'll sign whatever you buy.
So even [F] if you don't [A] buy anything, we'll still sign something [Em] for you.

[A] But this _ song is probably the [Am] most requested and most popular song from [E] Mosaic.
It's called You Can't Shake Jesus.
