Jesus saves, saves little children in distressJesus saves, he saves the sick, the pennilessJesus saves, he saves the dying in their bedsJesus saves, he saves the drowning, saves the wrecksJesus saves, he saves the pure and leaves the restJesus saves, he saves the homeless on the streetsJesus saves, saves the afflicted, saves the meekJesus saves, he saves the hungry, saves the weakJesus saves, saves every soul that he can reachJesus saves, he saves the useful, leaves the obsoleteJesus loves, he loves the underdog, he doesJesus loves downtrodden sinners just like usJesus loves, he loves to hear the sound of painJust because, well he can't save you if you ain't one of usThe damned, the blind, the deaf, the never-walk-againJesus gives to the lame, he gives their limpsJesus gives to the prostitues, their pimpsJesus gives, gives us the crackhead's crying winceJesus gives, he gives the derelicts their drinksJesus gives, so he can watch the swamp of people squirm and sink'Cause Jesus craves, he craves the brotherhood of manJesus craves the bony gripping of its handsJesus craves, he craves the cross, he craves the nailsJesus craves, he craves the pain the mortal feelsJesus craves all the cruelty that ever made him realJesus saves, saves every sinner you can seeJesus saves, saves even amateurs like meJesus saves, saves men of evil, men of greedJesus saves, saves you from thinking, just believeThat Jesus saves, and you can lemming-like go walking, to theCliffs of eternity
