Jesus Laughing
by New Salem

Album: There's Someone Knocking

There's a picture on the wall that brings me comfort
My weary eyes rest on it from time to time
It's a sweet unique depiction of the Savior
The only one I know one I know quite of its kind

It shows Him laughin', our Lord is laughin'
His head thrown back with joy upon His loving face
And in that moment, there something happens
I feel at peace just seein' Jesus laughin

To the left and just above the picture
There stands a wooden cross upon the shelf
Sometimes it seems just like the Lord is gazin'
Straight into the face of death itself

And I see Him laughin', our Lord is laughin'
His head thrown back with joy upon His lovin' face
And in that moment, there something happens
I feel at peace just seein' Jesus laughin'

In my heart, I hold a gentle vision
Someday, when I reach the other side
He'll hold me in His arms and whisper, "Welcome."
And as I look into His smiling eyes,

I see Him laughin, our Lord is laughin'
His head thrown back with joy upon His lovin' face
I'll lay down my burdens and feel it happen
An everlasting peace with Jesus laughin'
I'll join His angels singin' and clappin'
The victory won with me and Jesus laughin'
