Jesus Song
You tell me everyday that what you love about me
are the parts of Him that you can see.
Your expectations reaching all the way up to heaven
all I offer is what’s down here.
I love the way that dress makes you look so divine;
I love the way it falls off your breast,
but O I know there is someone nearer to you
than the very breath you’re breathin’ in.
O there’s someone else in your heart.
I want you to hold me like the binding on a book
my arms will be dust on around you,
but he calls you in visions to those far away lands
in those visions I cannot see.
You go wherever, and I’ll go that way too,
but it’s sweetest here with you.
Go take your bath down in the river and
I’ll be baptized in the view,
but there’s someone else in your water.
You’ve been looking for a father all of your life,
that’s not me, but I’m here for you.
You’re ascending into heaven, calling his name at night,
and I’m begging for mercy here,
Maybe He’ll go and love you in death,
but I’m trying to love you in life.
Don’t you know that I would die for you too?
But I’m not here to make you choose.
There’s someone else in your heart
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ.
