The song Me and Jesus by Tom T. Hall is about an individual's personal relationship with Jesus and how they don't need anyone else to tell them what it's all about. The lyrics talk about how Jesus helped them through their troubles, trials, and heartaches, and they know that Jesus will never forsake them. The song also references a man who was once a sinner, a drunk and a loser, but turned his life around after making an altar out of a stump. The lyrics suggest that fancy churches, preaching or singing aren't necessary to have a relationship with Jesus, and that Jesus works through the poor and humble people who do his work. The song's message is one of simplicity, faith, and individual personal connection with Jesus, without being influenced by any external sources.
