lyrics

Jesus said that if I’m full of love
And trying to have faith
Everything that isn’t fair in life
Can one day be made right
But every day I’m more exhausted
Because I’m running out of strength
Looking forward to a paradise
While I can’t survive the night

Jesus said “Father forgive them,
They don’t know; they’re blind and weak”
But you all know what you’ve been doing
And you’ve convinced yourselves it’s fine
And Jesus told me that if you strike me
Then I must turn the other cheek
But you’ve been striking me for decades
And I am gonna lose my mind

Jesus said. Jesus said. Jesus said. Jesus said.
Jesus said. Jesus said. Jesus said. Jesus said.

Jesus said just take a look
At all the lilies in the field
He said they don’t toil or spin
Their Father sees them try to grow
But Jesus I am not a lily
And I don’t know how to feel
When my roots are torn, my leaves are bent
And I have no place to go

Jesus said He is the way, the truth,
The life, the great I Am
And Jesus said that through His grace
He can sanctify a man
But when I see torches in Charlottesville
It makes me wonder if we’re all damned
Cause there’s so much violence in His name
And the blood is on all our hands

Jesus said. Jesus said. Jesus said. Jesus said.
Jesus said. Jesus said. Jesus said. Jesus said.
