Lyrics

Remember My Name

Friday night is only a memory
Saturday mornin?, I?m needin? a cure
On Sunday morning they all run find jesus
I am not welcome inside there I?m sure

They bring holy fried chicken to dinner on the grounds
Pass by the homeless and the hungry downtown
And I?m stuck here in Texas with this reprobate bird on my plate
Their eyes judge us both as we bow our heads to pray

It is true that they hated you too?
For the things that love drove you to do
Now I?ve had some hard times and been through some pain
But lord, please remember my name
Lord Jesus, please remember my name

It?s been near ten years now since she walked out the door
I was working so hard but she wanted more
Ten feet away from shelter she?d stand out in the rain
And I?d always be the one to blame

Is it true that they walked out on You?
In spite of everything that your love could do
We all make our choices for joy or for pain
But Lord, please remember my name
Lord Jesus, please remember my name

It is true that they hated you too?
For the things that love drove you to do
Now we?ve both had hard times and been through some pain
But lord, please remember my name
Lord Jesus, please remember my name
