[Verse 1]
I [G]went to fishin' one day
And I put my hook out in the water
And something got a hold to it
And tried to get a loop
[C]When I pul[G]led it up,
[C]it was a big [G]fish on the hook
He was twistin' and turnin' down
trying to get a loop
but the hook had him down
and he couldn't get a loop
and I said
I wish the Lord would hook me one day
like this hook
how hooked is feeling and oh
one Friday evening
he came into my soul
and he hooked me with his spirit
And ever since that day,
a song come into my mind
I had a cell like Jeremiah say
It's a fire, [G]keep [C]on burning
Shut all up in [G]my bones
And I couldn't hold my pee
I told my mother, but that wasn't enough
I told my father, and I told my sister,
and went on and told my brother,
what went wrong with me,
and this is what I told them in a song, I said, Lord, know that I'm wrapped up,
tangled all up in Jesus, and I don't want to get loose,
wrapped up, tangled all up in Jesus,
and I don't want to get loose.
Go and tell my mother,
I don't want to get a loose
Go [C]and tell my mother tonight,
that I don't want to get a [G]loose
Go and tell my mother now,
I don't want to get a loose
Rise up, hang along, look at Jesus
and I don't want to get a loose
Jesus God is hookin' me,
I don't wanna get loose
[C]Jesus God is hookin' me tonight,
and I don't wanna get [G]loose
Jesus God is hookin' me,
I don't wanna get loose
Wrapped up, hang along up there, Jesus,
and I don't want to [C]miss[G]
[C][G][C]
[G][G]
[C]
Bye -bye.
