Name: Jesus and Me
Description: I grew up feeling there was something vaguely sacreligious about whistling in church. That’s partly why there’s a whistling lead break in Jesus and Me, written as a kid’s song, though most adults seem to get a kick out of it too. By the way, you can’t whistle and smile at the same time.

I grew up feeling there was something vaguely sacreligious about whistling in church. That’s partly why there’s a whistling lead break in Jesus and Me, written as a kid’s song, though most adults seem to get a kick out of it too. By the way, you can’t whistle and smile at the same time.

lyrics

When I’m feeling frightened and small
I don’t have to worry at all
‘Cause He makes me feel strong and tall
Jesus and me

He loves boys and girls just like me
Even if they’re one, two or three
I’d like to ask Jesus for tea
Jesus and me

I just want to sing and shout
He loves me inside out
That’s what it’s all about
Jesus and me

He’ll stay with me till the end
He’s someone on whom I depend
He’s certainly my special friend
Jesus and me
