lyrics

just because my hands are far apart
doesn't mean I'm not walking hand in hand with Jesus
we could be out on a stroll, eating Reeses pieces
or peanut butter cups, there's a whole lotta love
in the sweet stuff
Chorus:
picking cherries from the vine, preserving peaches for some fine wine
just walking and talking, with Jesus, saving the world one plum at a time
are you listening, have I got your attention
are we having a good session
conversing with Jesus, is what we do all day
you don't have to put your hands together to pray
c'mom Jesus, let's take a ride to the country
take in some green, I'll pack some sandwiches and drinks
and you'll be sure to bless someone when they sneeze
a sense of humor is the best medicine, dontcha think
Chorus:
picking cherries from the vine, preserving peaches for some fine wine
just walking and talking, with Jesus, saving the world one plum at a time
put some fresh corn on the grill
ahh the aroma of time standing still
set a plate for Jesus, and atone
the Lord can't live on Reeses alone
when day fades into night, before the last of the light
thank Jesus for your lucky stars
and when the man in the moon begins to rise
thank Jesus for the smile in your heart
Chorus:
picking cherries from the vine, preserving peaches for some fine wine
just walking and talking, with Jesus, saving the world one plum at a time
