A Man Called Jesus
(Walk on Water Blues)

About "A Man Called Jesus (Walk on Water Blues)"

Bronwyn Edwards teamed up with her life partner, author/musician Conrad Wesselhoeft, to write "A Man Called Jesus (Walk on Water Blues)". The song is a slow-gospel swing style featuring a lead vocalist (or multiple soloists), an SATB gospel back-up choir and a saxophone or other solo instrument. The song was composed for Fauntleroy Church's annual "Blues Sunday" event in 2018 (West Seattle).

Lyrics - by Bronwyn Edwards & Conrad Wesselhoeft

Can I walk on water with my feet of clay?
Can I walk on water with my feet of clay?
Can I walk on water with my feet of clay?
A man called Jesus said, "I'll show you the way."
A man called Jesus said, "I'll show you the way."

Can I help my neighbor with my heart of woe?
Can I help my neighbor with my heart of woe?
Can I help my neighbor with my heart of woe?
A man called Jesus gonna lift up my soul.
A man called Jesus gonna lift up my soul.

Can I feed the hungry when my hands are tied?
Can I feed the hungry when my hands are tied?
Can I feed the hungry when my hands are tied?
The man called Jesus is my Bread of Life.
The man called Jesus is my Bread of Life.

Well, I've got my troubles and I've got my woes
But while I've got breath I can share someone's load.
All I can give is the love Jesus showed...

(Saxophone solo)

Heavenly train a-comin', hear that whistle call.
Heavenly train a-comin', hear that whistle call.
Heavenly train a-comin', hear that whistle call.
Tell the man called Jesus I gave my all.
Tell the man called Jesus I gave my all.
Tell the man called Jesus I gave my all.
