Moore Geoff Hey Jimmie lyrics

Geoff Moore/Dale Oliver
Luke 9:24-25 & 16:13

Well, little Jimmie Thomas was the boy of every mother`s dreams
His yearbook read, `I want it all, I want to do everything`
We now, people love it when winners lead
So they voted Jimmie `the most likely to succeed`

Chorus
Hey Jimmie, hey Jimmie, oh, you make us proud
And Jimmie, say Jimmie, you`re the man of the hour
With Jimmie, with Jimmie, we rise and we fall
Little Jimmie Thomas you`re the best in us all

Well, Jimmie grew to be a man of wealth, fortune and fame
You know the kind of man that people love to say they know and to
call by
his first name
He says there`s only one on which you can rely
And I see him in the mirror every morning and every night

Chorus

Out on a lonely country road on a late November night
Jimmie held 44 reasons to give up on his life
There was an old abandoned church stood just across the road
With a little faded sign that wave to and fro, to and fro

What does it profit a man to gain this world
Profit a man to gain this whole world
Profit a man to gain this world, but to lose his very soul

Hey Jimmie, hey Jimmie, oh, you make us proud
But Jimmie, say Jimmie, what`s happened to you now
With Jimmie, with Jimmie, we rise and we fall
In little Jimmie Thomas, I see the worst in us all
