Jesus saves, saves little children in distress
|
Jesus saves, he saves the sick, the penniless
|
Jesus saves, he saves the dying in their beds
|
Jesus saves, he saves the drowning, saves the wrecks
|
Jesus saves, he saves the pure and leaves the rest
|
|
Jesus saves, he saves the homeless on the streets
|
Jesus saves, saves the afflicted, saves the meek
|
Jesus saves, he saves the hungry, saves the weak
|
Jesus saves, saves every soul that he can reach
|
Jesus saves, he saves the useful, leaves the obsolete
|
|
Jesus loves, he loves the underdog, he does
|
Jesus loves downtrodden sinners just like us
|
Jesus loves, he loves to hear the sound of pain
|
Just because, well he can't save you if you ain't one of us
|
The damned, the blind, the deaf, the never-walk-again
|
|
Jesus gives to the lame, he gives their limps
|
Jesus gives to the prostitues, their pimps
|
Jesus gives, gives us the crackhead's crying wince
|
Jesus gives, he gives the derelicts their drinks
|
Jesus gives, so he can watch the swamp of people squirm and sink
|
|
'Cause Jesus craves, he craves the brotherhood of man
|
Jesus craves the bony gripping of its hands
|
Jesus craves, he craves the cross, he craves the nails
|
Jesus craves, he craves the pain the mortal feels
|
Jesus craves all the cruelty that ever made him real
|
|
Jesus saves, saves every sinner you can see
|
Jesus saves, saves even amateurs like me
|
Jesus saves, saves men of evil, men of greed
|
Jesus saves, saves you from thinking, just believe
|
That Jesus saves, and you can lemming-like go walking, to the
|
Cliffs of eternity
|
