about

This song is not about Jesus.

lyrics

Susan was big for her age
They say she outgrew her cage
Learned to think for herself and it caused such a rage
She was banned by her family and shunned

Johnny was handed a gun
His father’s affection is won
Then he pulled the trigger and shot out the sun
And the light went out of the world

Follow the bouncing ball of Jesus
The words will show you the way
Follow the bouncing ball of Jesus
To the music the organist played

The factory closed in the spring
Still, the birds continued to sing
Johnny gave Susan a gold wedding ring
Then they packed up and moved out of town

Time, like a river will flow
The old watch the young as they grow
From a crack in the world the sky starts to glow
And the heart made of stone turns to dust

Follow the bouncing ball of Jesus
The words will show you the way
Follow the bouncing ball of Jesus
To the music the organist played

A small town gathers to pray
Against the world that led them astray
Come all and join hands while Satan’s away
And we’ll sing to the end of the world

Follow the bouncing ball of Jesus
The words will show you the way
Follow the bouncing ball of Jesus
To the music the organist played

Follow the bouncing ball of Jesus
The words will show you the way
Follow the bouncing ball of Jesus
To the music the organist played
