I Knew Jesus Before He Was A Super Star
Glen Campbell

I would suppose this song came about right after
the hit play "Jesus Christ Superstar"

Intro  C   F

C
Well funny it seems as how, everyone knows Him now.
Em
Suddenly they have found, someone who's been around.
F                                                   C    Am
Back to the fold they come, seeking His wisdom from afar.
Em            F                    C
I knew Jesus, before He was a Superstar.

C                    
Well you know that I'm a believer in, all that He's ever been.
Em
Stories I've read of Him, things that were said of Him.
F                                             C             Am

               F                      C

I've seen His blessings around me in every way.
            F                     Am
In times of trouble when I had no hope in view.
                D                               G    
He brought the sunlight, that one light, that I knew.

C
Oh now I know He was always there answering every prayer.
Em
Fame will not change Him much he won't be out of touch.
F                                                 C             Am
