"Swoop Down Sweet Jesus" lyrics - JOHN ANDERSON

Won't You swoop down sweet Jesus and put a hold on me
The devil's got me all tied up and he just won't set me free
I've been all drunk'd up in a honky tonk at the bottom of misery
Won't You swoop down sweet Jesus and put a hold on me

Well I know what You done for ol' Daniel when he was down in the lion's den
And I heard about the time that You split the water and You saved 10,000 men
And I've read a lot of stories and I've seen a lot of pictures
Of You walking on the deep blue sea
So want You swoop down sweet Jesus and put a hold on me

I've been walking alone since mid-night with a bottle and a heavy mind
As I looked up the first thing I saw was a flashing neon sign
Well I read it again and I smiled to myself when it flashed on Jesus saves
The Salvation Army rescued me so I wanna thank you for another new day

Won't You swoop down sweet Jesus and put a hold on me
The devil's got me all tied up and he just won't set me free
I've been all drunk'd up in a honky tonk at the bottom of misery
Won't You swoop down sweet Jesus and put a hold on me
Won't You swoop down sweet Jesus and put a hold on me
