Awesome Gospel Music: Amos Lee - Jesus - Transatlantic Sessions

Amos Lee and Friends - Transatlantic Sessions - YouTube Video Screen Capture

Hi!

I just stumbled across (or was it Something else) a live video of Amos Lee singing "Jesus" from the Transatlantic Sessions series.

He is joined on stage by others including Texan Sarah Jarosz, an amazing young singer/musician  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Jarosz), Scottish singer Kathleen Macinnes and Irish singer/songwriter Decaln O'Rourke.

Amos Lee has been singing Christian themed songs since his self title debut in 2005....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amos_Lee_(album)...

...although it would seem that after going through many tribulations in this life his lyrics have become more overtly Christian through the years.

On this track, "Jesus", there is no mistaking his intent.  (see the lyrics below)

Anywho...do yourself a favor and check out the video...and be Blessed!

"Jesus" - Lyrics
 

Oh, Jesus can you help me now,
(Jesus can you help me now)
Oh, Jesus can you help me now,
(Jesus can you help me now)
Oh, Jesus can you help me now,
No, I never felt so alone,

I remember when I was wild and free,
Oh, so wild and free,
Oh, so wild and free,
But my heart was a skipping stone,

But now the world has jaded me,
(Jaded me)
Oh, corrupted and defeated me,
(Defeated me)
You know I never thought you hated me,
But I’ve never felt so alone,

Oh, Jesus will you help me now,
(Jesus can you help me now)
Oh, Jesus will you help me now,
(Jesus will you help me now)
Oh Jesus will you help me now,
No, I never felt so alone,
So alone,
So alone

Instrumental break

Oh, Jesus will you help me now,
(Jesus can you help me now)
Oh, Jesus will you help me now,
(Jesus will you help me now)
Oh Jesus will you help me now,
No, I never felt so alone,
So alone,
So alone.................

Psalm 69:13-16  

13 As for me, Lord, this is my prayer to you:

    Please accept me!

God, I want you to answer me with love.

    I know I can trust you to save me.

14 Pull me from the mud,

    and don’t let me sink down deeper.

Save me from those who hate me.

    Save me from this deep water.

15 Don’t let the waves drown me.

    Don’t let the deep sea swallow me

    or the grave close its mouth on me.

16 Answer me, Lord, from the goodness of your faithful love.

    Out of your great kindness turn to me and help me!
