Hello Everyone,
All feedback is appreciated. This was my first attempt at a Country christian Song. Roy Cooper was my co-write and Vic Arnold was nice enough to add the music. Thanks for giving this one a listen

Jesus Is His Name @2011 Roy Cooper/Roger Sosnowski/Vic Arnold
Verse 1
Was sitting on a park bench
A sign lay by my feet
Asking for some spare cash
Just enough to make ends meet
I felt the park bench move
As a stranger sat by me
Had a look about his face
That showed serenity
Pre-chorus 1
He said, if you have a moment, I'd like to share with you
Something that happened in my life
When this old bench was new
Chorus
He said, he'd had problems, his world was crashing down
His life became a struggle, only hardship could be found
When he was at his lowest, a loser in life's game
He found a man who helped him, Jesus was his name
Verse 2
I heard the truth in what he said
And I turned my life around
Renewed my faith in Jesus
Met a girl and settled down
Became an upright citizen
Worked hard for an honest buck
Have myself two fine kids
And friends whom I can trust
Bridge:
After evening church one day, as it was starting to get dark
I felt an eerie presence, seemed to draw me to the park
I spotted that old bench with a young man sitting there
He held a familiar sign, saying any cash to spare
Pre-chorus 2
I said, if you have a moment, I'd like to share with you
Something that happened in my life
When I was begging too
Chorus
I had myself big problems, my world was crashing down
My life was a struggle, only hardship could be found
When I was at my lowest, a loser in life's game
I found a man who helped me, Jesus was his name

Again it's gone full circle, this story never ends
Passing on the good word, as one of Jesus friends
For me it was stranger who pointed out the way
From then on, it was Jesus, who gave me strength each day
Final lines
Yep, I went and changed my life, got back in the game
There was a man who helped me, Jesus was his name
