(Dana Hunt Oglesby/Danny M. Wells)      Jimmy was born in Bethlehem, Georgia    He grew up to be a carpenter by trade    We met four years ago on a job site    Said he'd just turned 29 on Christmas Day       Jimmy always had a hammer in his hand    I can still hear him driving those tenpenny nails    But Sunday morning you'd find him at the Baptist church    Giving thanks for his family, friends and his health      Jimmy and Jesus sure did have a lot in common    Both born in December in a town with the same name    Jimmy and Jesus worked hard every day    Tryin' to make this world a better place       His weekly paycheck barely paid his bills    Yet he could always find an extra ten to lend a friend    You'd hear them say "we'll pay ya back on Friday"    But he'd say "Don't worry about it"    And just look at them and grin       Jimmy and Jesus sure did have a lot in common    They'd give you the shirt right off their back    Jimmy and Jesus worked hard every day    Tryin' to make this old world a better place       Looking back I can't forget that rainy April afternoon    I slipped and fell while me and Jimmy were working on a roof    He reached out and saved me from fallin' down    But then he lost his balance and tumbled to the ground    Jimmy and Jesus sure did have a lot in common    They lived their lives unselfishly    And died to save a friend    Jimmy and Jesus worked hard everyday    Tryin' to make this old world a better place    Tryin' to make this old world a better place
