Swoop Down Sweet Jesus
Recorded by George Jones
Written by Bill Emerson, John Anderson, James Bohon

C                                      F                 C
Well-a want You swoop down sweet Jesus and put a hold on me
                                      D7                G7
The devil’s got me all tied up and he just won’t set me free
          C                                   F          C
I’ve been all junked up in a honky tonk and a bottle misery 
                                    G7                C
So won't You swoop down sweet Jesus and put a hold on me

                                                     F                  C
Well I know what You done for ol’ Daniel when he was down in the lion’s den
                                                    D7                   G7
And I heard about the time that You split the water and You saved 10,000 men 
         C
And I’ve read a lot of stories and I’ve seen a lot of pictures 
   F                            C
Of You walking on the deep blue sea
                                   G7                C
So want You swoop down sweet Jesus and put a hold on me

Repeat #1

                                               F                  C
I’ve been walking alone since mid-night with a bottle and a heavy mind
                                         D7              G7
As I looked up the first thing I saw was a flashing neon sign
       C                                            F                C
Well I read it again and I smiled to myself when it flashed on Jesus saves
                                         G7                        C
The Salvation Army rescued me so I wanna thank you for a brand new day

Repeat #1
