I went down to Mexico to have a little fun To hang around, see the town, lay out in the sun As I walked along one evening just outside of town I pa**ed a little chapel, and I heard a pretty sound Curiosity carried me in to stay a while And I heard things I hadn't heard since I was a child They sang about God's saving grace right there in that little place I found Jesus down in Mexico [Chorus] I know that I never shall forget All the pretty things I found in Mexico, and yet The most beautiful and precious ever told Was salvation that I found in Mexico I may never see that little Spanish town again But I'll always think of it as where my life begain Every day I'm lifted up, just knowing that I'm saved I don't have to worry about life beyond the grave I'm depending on God's power to keep me safe through every hour Eternity is beautiful to me I have a better life, I know; I tell it everywhere I go I found Jesus down in Mexico [Chorus: x2]
