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 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 eternity
