Jesus Laughing

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 quite of its kind

It shows Him laughin'
Our Lord is laughin'
His head thrown back
With joy upon His loving face
And for a moment
There something happens
I feel at peace just seein'
Jesus laughin'

And to the left and just above the picture
There sits a wooden cross upon the shelf
Sometimes it looks just like the Lord is gazing
Straight into the face of death itself

I see Him laughin'
My 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'

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 smilin' eyes

I see Him laughin'
My Lord is laughin'
His head thrown back
With joy upon His loving face
I'll lay down my burdens
And feel it happen
At everlasting peace
With Jesus laughing

I'll join his angels
Singin' and clappin'
Oh, the victory won
And me and Jesus laughin'
