I was thrilled to death today that Babe Ruth signed my baseball bat I'll always remember that the greatest one of all When I was out in Hollywood John Wayne tipped his cowboy hat And when I got his autograph I felt ten feet tall
I met great Hank Williams one night backstage at the Opry House He looked down and grinned when I said I'm your biggest fan And I was there the day when JFK rode into Dallas I walked up to the limousine and shook his mighty hand
I've met the famous and I've met the best But there's one man I've never met that outshines all the rest And he's one man I always wanted to meet He's the king of kings and he's a prince of peace If I ever get the chance I'll fall down at his feet He's one man I always wanted to meet Jesus is the man I've always wanted to meet
