I got down on my knees
Em G A
He walked right up to me and licked my face
C D C
Old Pablo said He likes you so I guess that you're okay
D
I said What's his name
[Chorus]
N.C C E7
That's my dog Jesus now before you get all mad

There's lots of reasons why he's got a name like that
C E7
He's a shepherd and a good one

He loves me and forgives me no matter what I do

The kind of friend who'd give his life for you

That's my dog Jesus
[Verse 2]
Em G
I found Jesus on my porch at 4 AM
C Am D
I couldn't stand to hear him crying I got up to let him in
Em G
That's when I saw the light
Em G A
From the trailer next to mine burning down
C D
By sunrise Shady Acres was a patch of smoking ground
C D
And Jesus was nowhere to be found
[Bridge]
C G
Twelve people searched the rubble calling out his name
C E7 Am
The firemen must have thought we all were crazy
C G
But like the rest I knew I could have perished in those flames
C E7 D Dm
And I would have too except that Jesus saved me
[Verse 3]
N.C Em G
I found Jesus 'cause of what that dog showed me
C E7 Am D
I was baptized three days later in a church right down the street
Em G
My sins were washed away
Em G A
I was crying as I prayed but through my tears
C D
I heard that preacher saying hey who brought that dog in here
C D
And Pablo he answered loud and clear
[Chorus]
N.C C
That's my dog Jesus now before you get all mad
G
There's lots of reasons why he's got a name like that
C E7
He's a shepherd and a good one
C E7
He's Man's best friend and then some
C E7 Am D
He loves me and forgives me no matter what I do
C D
The kind of friend who'd give his life for you
N.C G C D
That's my dog Jesus
G C
That's my dog Jesus
D
Thank you Jesus
End on G
