D                               A
I Saw and Old Man, Sitting on a stoop
D                                  G
Must have been about a hundred and five
D                            A
On his lined face, you could see
      D            C    G
Every word, every last lie.
  D                                    A
I sat beside him, and asked about his day
               D                            C      D
He said it was middlin' Boy, with nothing more to say
     D                         A    
As I Stood and started to walk away
   Bm                                  G
He took my hand and said What I really need...

Chorus
D
I need Heaven (heaven)
       A               Bm   
To be real, not just a fable
           G
Told to us still
        D
I need Jesus (Jesus)
         A
To be my light
               Bm                   G
That guides my pathway both day and night
       A
I need Hunger
           Bm     A       G
For what's right when I'm wrong
       Em    A
I need God's grace
            D   A - G
To help me along.


I got up Sunday morning made it to church

Hugged all my friends... for what that's worth.

Outside the Church Saw a young girl

She was weeping and sobbing like she'd lost the world.

So I asked her what could I do?

And she spoke these words that burned me thru and thru



Chorus



We need Jesus To Be Real!
Not just a fable they're telling us still.
We need Heaven to shine down it's light!
To Guide our paths both day and night.
We need that hunger for the Right when we are wrong...
And we need God's Grace....
To Help us along.

Repeat
