E                               A 
I ran into an old friend on the street today 
E                                        A  A7 
He said it sure is good to see you again 
D                                A              F# 
The old gang sure does miss you, we often talk about you 
B7                         E 
We all wonder where you've been 
     
A                         E                     A 
Somebody said I guess ol' ed has got religion 
                 E                   A      A7 
I said more than that I've been born again 
        D                               A                          F# 
He said what are you kidding me, do you mean what I think you mean 
B7                            E 
Could you put that in words I understand, I said why certainly 
 
Chorus: 
A               E           A 
Jesus loved the hell out of me 
A                                E 
He kicked that ol' devil out and set me free 
A                    A7        D              B7  
While I was lost, he patiently never did give up on me 
A               E           A 
Jesus loved the hell out of me 
 
At first I wasn't even sure that he heard me 
Then he said I need to take a seat 
Tell me is it really true, what you say he's done for you 
I need to hear again what you believe, I said pay attention
