Jerry Michaels and Marian Gade of the San Francisco Bay Area sometimes sing this song at this time of year.
JESUS IN A SNOWBALL
Prairie Home Companion
19 May 02
Chorus:
On the nightstand near my bed, lies Jesus in a snowball,
I turn to Him and say a little prayer,
I bend my knee to the ground, then I turn Him upside down,
Just to let Him know that I am there.
Oh, I am there, (I am there) I am there (I am there)
Oh, just to let Him know that I am there,
I bend my knee to the ground, then I turn Him upside down,
Just to let Him know that I am there. (last time only) the--ere.
Down in Memphis, Tennessee, I felt the Spirit calling me,
On the Interstate at Earl’s Motor Mall,
All the truckers came to see my gift shop epiphany,
For my Saviour was submerged within a ball.
(Chorus)
I know my Saviour died for me, that snowy night on Calvary,
And I must reach Him in case I wake up dead,
So when I say my prayers at night, before I turn out the light,
I turn my Saviour Jesus on his head.
(Chorus)
