billy joe shaver - you just can't beat Jesus Christ

I gotta thank the Lord that Norm MacDonald introduced me to Billy Joe Shaver, he's truly one of the greats.

I saw Billy Joe shaver in Chattanooga Tennessee at nightfall. I was a hopeless alcoholic. They're playing bottles of liquor in my pocket drinking a 20 oz drive beer. Billy Joe held up a bottle of water and said (right here is the best drink in the world). At the time I thought he was crazy. May 20th 2003 Lord took the taste of liquor away. I'm now understand what Billy Joe was saying & fully agree! Billy Joe Shaver and myself both raised a lot of hell, & took the looong way to the path of the good Lord Jesus. But I do look forward to listening him pic when I get upstairs!!! R.IP. Billy!!!

I drink and I’ve snorted. Just like Billy Joe says, Jesus is not bound by these standards humans put on you, whatever their title may be. Jesus is King, he gets us, F those who tell you otherwise. Salvation is not bound by the restrictions of political preachers or going to church on Sunday morning. It’s what’s in your heart and that’s all Jesus sees.

[@alleycat27]

Comedian Norm Macdonald made me aware of Billy Joe Shaver. I love them both. Both Billy and Norm speak publicly about God and Jesus and we need more of it. Amen

AL X good for Norm and Billy Joe, I know many who talk in private .... years ago I knew the way was to get out in public and say what I thought. ..... I came up with a saying that I put in my heart, on my truck, guitar and everything that I have , the saying is. CHRIST IS OUR ONLY HOPE....
