Mr. Jesus Christ - Tim Scott McConnell
Jesus Christ, with open hands
and bleedin' heart, you gave a chance
to desperate souls and crippled minds
You gave 'em love, you gave 'em time
and you walked on the water, turned the water to wine
Got 'em high on your love, but it wasn't enough
They turned their backs, they turned you in
They beat you up with ignorance
They didn't see, they didn't care
They didn't want you anywhere
So you died like a martyr, wore your crown like a prince
rode a cross to the heavens, then you came back again
in paperback and painted glass
on bumperstickers, around their necks
in hotel drawers and tattooed arms
I'm sure they never meant you harm
but they took it too far, and they used you in vain
set you up like a business and it's all in your name
So please come down and bring your grace
Help us sinners find our plac
We need a sign, we messed it up
Come show us how you do your stuff
'cause you walked on the water, turned the water to wine
got 'em high on your love, still it wasn't enough
Sweet Jesus it wasn't enough
Come on Jesus, sweet Jesus - Mister Jesus Christ
