You Are My Jesus

At the end of the 1990's and beginning of the 2000's I worked at a church in Davenport, Iowa. I moved to that area to begin a new contemporary worship service at St. John's United Methodist Church. While there I wrote a few songs and used them with the worship band and congregation.

One of them was called "You Are My Jesus."  One day I had been walking and the instrumentation for "American Woman" came into my head. I started singing a different tune and words of praise to Jesus as I walked along. I wrote down the song and my talented band, knowing "American Woman," was able to develop the parts they played.

It was fun to rock out to this song at worship. Came across it lately and decided to post it. Here it is for you to listen to and download an mp3. Soon I'm going to put the lyrics on for it so you can download those also if you wish.

The lyrics say "You are my Jesus, the One that I adore. You are my Jesus, the One I'm living for." That is still my goal. Some days I do better at it that than others. But I do adore Jesus and long to live for Him each day.
Throughout my life, I have been a wandering minstrel who enjoys writing and singing songs as well as writing and telling stories. I also enjoy listening to and reading books. Along the way, it is a delight to travel and spend time with my family and friends. I like banana splits but seem to rarely have one. Most days I take walks and a lot of days I take pictures of what is around me. My aim is to reflect hope as I travel through life.
