Intro.:  |(Ebmaj7) |(Ab) |(Abm) |(Eb) |

I was (Eb)racing through the airport to make an early flight
I wanted to get home to see my (Ab)children and my wife
I (Eb)rushed around the corner, an apple stand was there
Un-(Ab)til I knocked it over, the (Bb)fruit went over everywhere

At (Eb)first I kept on going, I just couldn’t miss the plane
I looked over my shoulder, not (Ab)stopping to explain
A (Eb)girl was down there on her knees, groping ‘round to find
The (Ab)apples scattered on the floor, (Bb) then I saw (Eb) the girl was blind

As I (F#m)hugged her narrow shoulders, she (B)reached to hold me still … and said …

You (Am)put me back in (E)business, you were (F#m)Jesus (B)to my (E)heart

Once (D)I was bruised and broken, blind and (C#)groping on my way

Ex-(Bbm)cuse me, are (F)you Jesus, to have (Gm)had me on your (Bb)mind?
You (F)picked up all the (Fmaj7)pieces, the (F7)bruised and broken (Bb)parts
You (Bbm)put me back in (F)business, you were (Gm)Jesus (C)to my …
