Del Amitri - Jesus Saves lyrics

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 it's 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
