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 af - flicted, 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 obso - lete
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 be - cause,
well, He can't save you if you ain't
one of us
The damned, the blind, the deaf,
that never walk a - gain
Jesus gives
to the lame, He gives their limps
Jesus gives
to the prostitutes, their pimps
Jesus gives,
gives us the crack head'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 eterni - ty //
