The song was written by Joe Freeman back in the early 70’s from Wise,Va

Can you tell me if this song is public domain for recording ?

my great granpa jessie gray wrote that song

another verse says: I looked way over yonder, what do u think I see, I saw King Jesus comin after me. the verse is : King Jesus, I know you'll hear me when I pray, King Jesus, I know you'll hear me when I pray. When I'm down here in trouble lord, send an angel by my way. hope that helps. wombomber

the last verse our church sings.

some say give me buddha
some say give me baal
but i say give me jesus
cause the god that cannot fail

I've never heard those last two verses. I don't know who wrote it but you can find the lyrics on calvinclark.com. I just typed mine from memory, maybe the website version will be more helpful.

Chris,
Do you know who recorded this?

We always sang it like this.

Cho.
King Jesus I know you'll hear me when I pray
King Jesus I know you'll hear me when I pray
When I'm down here in trouble Lord
You'll send an angel by my way

I.
I was down in the valley
Looked up to the mountain top
I called on King Jesus
Now I just can't stop

II.
If you're sick and afflicted
And don't know what to do
Just call on King Jesus
And He will see you through

III.
Some say give me silver
Some say give me gold
I say give me Jesus
He's the only God I know

IV.
Some men worship Buddha
Some men worship Baal
I say worship Jesus
Or you'll wind up in hell (you couldn't sing this in a lot of churches nowadays!)

Chorus
King Jesus, won't you hear me when I pray
Oh, King Jesus, won't you hear me when I pray,
Well, I'm down here in trouble lord,
Please send an angel by my way.

Verse 1
If you're sick and afflicted
And you don't know what to do
Just call upon King Jesus and
He'll see you through

Verse 2
They put ol' Paul in prison,
About the midnight hour,
He began to call on Jesus
He heard his prayer

Verse 3
I've been through the valley
And I've reached that mountain top
I'm searching for that city Lord,
And I don't wanna stop.

There may be a fourth verse, but hopefully this is helpful.

No,it's not that song.I think it goes something like this."King Jesus,oh won't you hear me when I pray".It goes something like that.
