Lyrics for Song: Jesus Is the Only One That Loves Us
Lyrics for Album: Mercury Years [1987]
(Bobby Bare - Billy Joe Shaver)
See the Sunday morning wino slowly shufflin' down the street
The only God he knows clutched in his hand
And heaven's just a drink from his bottle
And Jesus Christ to him is just another man.
Yes, Jesus is the only one that loves us
He'll forgive us when we sin
Jesus is the only one that loves us
Even when we think we haven't got a friend.
In cheap hotel room somewhere in Chicago
A cheatin' husband takes his neighbor's wife
Lord, that's not the way he did it in Korea
Still it's just another way of takin' someone's life.
Around the corner in a cement city alley
Hidin' from the cold Chicago rain
While the Salvation Army band was playin'
A junky rolls his sleeves up and lets his Saviour in.
Yes, Jesus is the only one that loves us
He'll forgive us when we sin
Jesus is the only one that loves us
Even when we think we haven't got a friend.
Yes, Jesus is the only one that loves us
He'll forgive us when we sin
Jesus is the only one that loves us
Even when we think we haven't got a friend...
