(G)On a journey through the (D)mountains of (G)Virginia
I (D)stopped a while to visit with a (G)friend
She (C)ran the country store like her (G)daddy had before
(A)Nothing much had changed since way back t(D)hen
I stood looking at a wall of faded pictures
Some of them beginning to turn brown
John and uncle Jim up there with Loretta Lynn
And everybody who had been in town
Chorus(C)Pictures on the wall famous (G)people one and all
Their (D)pictures were hanging on the (G)wall
Among them all I saw the face of Jesus
With the big celebrities we know so well
When I asked her why she gave me this reply
She said that's a story that I love to tell
She said it was a year ago come Sunday
An old man with a bible came to call
He said do you love Jesus she said yes sir
But he just looked up sadly at the wall
Full of shame she ran to get a picture
She put Jesus in the middle of the store
She turned to thank the stranger for his wisdom
There was just a patch of sunlight on the floor
