to the tune Sunshine by Jonathan Edwards
A
Sunshine here again today
E
I sure feel just like dancing
A
Son of man he's trying to bless my life
D
Most don't know what he's asking
A
He tells me to come and taste the wine
E
Learn from what he's saying
A
When I grow up I'm gonna toe the line
D
Him I choose I been praying
D A
How much did it cost
He paid it
D A
A life that once was lost
He paid it
D A
I can't even run my own life
G E
I'll be blessed if he'll run mine Sunshine
A
Sunshine here again today
E
I sure feel just like dancing
A
Son of man he's trying to bless my life
D
Most don't know what he's asking
A
Sinning starts to make me wonder where
E
Fruits of what I do are going
A
He says sin has led to my despair
D
Evil seeds I been sowin’
D A
How much did it cost
He paid it
D A
A life that once was lost
He paid it
D A
I can't even run my own life
G E
I'll be blessed if he'll run mine Sunshine
A
Sunshine come on back again today
E
I promise you I'll be singin'
A
This old world she's gonna turn around
D A
The church bells will be ringing
Parody: Sinful Life's a Prison
to Folsom Prison Blues
E
I hear the kingdom’s coming it's coming round the bend
E7
This world ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
A E
This sinful life’s a prison and time keeps draggin' on
B7 E
But God’s reign keeps rollin' on out from the throne
---
When I was just a baby my mama told me Son
E7
Always be a good boy you’re one of God’s sons
A E
But you’re not a man bambino if you live a lie
B7 E
When I hear that sin is growing I hang my head and cry
---
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
E7
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
A E
But I know they have it coming I know they can't be free
B7 E
While they look so disapproving at folks in poverty
---
Well if they knew the Lord had risen if they lived the life divine
E7
I bet they'd move on over a little farther down the line
A E
Far from selfish living that's where I want to stay
B7 E
And I'd bet that Jesus’ Gospel blows the blues away
E
I hear the kingdom’s coming it's coming round the bend

Parody: Lucille
to the tune of Lucille 3/4 time
G
In a church in Toledo across from the depot
D7
She knelt down and she toyed with her ring
Am D7
I thought I’d get closer so I walked on over
Am D7 G
I sat down and asked her name
---
When she finished her prayer she said I’m no quitter
G7 C
But I finally quit living in sin
D7
I’m hungry for laughter and here ever after
G
I’m after whatever the other life brings
---
In the church door I saw him and I closely watched him
D7
I thought how he looked out of place
Am D7
He came to the woman who sat there beside me
Am D7 G
He had a strange look on his face
---
His big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain
G7 C
For a minute I thought I was dead
D7
But he started shaking his big heart was breaking
G
He turned to the woman and said
chorus
G
You picked a fine time for prayer Lucille
G
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
C
We’ve had some bad times lived through some sad times
G
But this time we need God to heal
D7 C
You picked a fine time for prayer Lucille
---
After he joined us I thanked God for mercy
D7
And thought how our sins make us small
Am D7
But light from God’s throne room came to an empty tomb
G
He’s there to help when we fall
---
There God set her free right when she made her plea
G7 C
At first I thought she’d lost her mind
D7
The man prayed with her, then Sundays thereafter
G
Kept coming back time after time
repeat chorus
