  			A 
It hangs above my altar 
          D               A 
Like they hung him from a cross 
A 
I keep one in my wallet 
        E                 A 
For the times that I feel lost 
A 
In a wooden frame with splinters 
         D                A 
Where my family kneels to pray 
A 
And if you listen real close 
                E 
You'll hear the words he used to say 

A                     D   A 
I've got a picture of Jesus 
A              E 
In His arms my prayers rest 
A                     D   F   
I've got a picture of Jesus 
A                        D       A 
And with Him we shall be forever blessed
