I was driving back from Georgia, about 3 am, when I decided that with God's help I'd write the words to this tune I'd come up with called West Virginia Burial in the Rain... The story is true. It is my life in short. I've only ever performed this once in public, and someone laughed at me, and I didn't think I'd ever do it again so I put it away and forgot where it was but a youtuber asked me if I had words to go with the song West Virginia Burial in the Rain , and I looked around and found them in an old banjo case, and decided that if God would let me sing it, I'd put it out there. I'm not very good at singing and playing at the same time, but here it is. The words go something like this.... I was just a boy when I walked down an isle and accepted Jesus Christ Young I decided I would serve him every day of my life I read myself to sleep with a Bible in my hands almost every night Oh I wanted to much to do what was right... I which I knew then what I know now.. Satan's lies can turn you all around.. Only Jesus' love can bring you through the other side.. Satan said it wouldn't.. Satan lied... Bitter and deceived I ran away from home to live a life of sin Faithfully I served the gods of the world and the wisdom of men I got everything that Satan had to give and it brought me ruin and shame broken and alone I cried out Jesus' name... Jesus, can you ever forgive me? I've wasted my life living foolishly.. Jesus can you hear my cry? I'm broken and alone.. I am begging mercy at your throne... Then he took my hand and righted me and set me on my feet and his mercy came down from on high and grace surrounded me I was broken and incapable of setting myself free but he led me from the darkness to the light of life in his love... tuning = GCGCF
