Property of Jesus

[Verse 1]

Go ahead and talk about him because he makes you doubt

Because he has denied himself the things that you can’t live without

Laugh at him behind his back just like the others do

Remind him of what he used to be when he comes walking through

[Chorus]

He’s the property of Jesus

Resent him to the bone

You got something better

You’ve got a heart of stone

[Verse 2]

Stop your conversation when he passes on the street

Hope he falls upon himself, oh, won’t that be sweet

Because he can’t be exploited by superstition anymore

Because he can’t be bribed or bought by the things that you adore

[Chorus]

He’s the property of Jesus

Resent him to the bone

You got something better

You’ve got a heart of stone

[Verse 3]

When the whip that’s keeping you in line doesn’t make him jump

Say he’s hard-of-hearing, say that he’s a chump

Say he’s out of step with reality as you try to test his nerve

Because he doesn’t pay tribute to the king that you serve

[Chorus]

He’s the property of Jesus

Resent him to the bone

You got something better

You’ve got a heart of stone

[Verse 4]

Say that he’s a loser ’cause he got no common sense

Because he don’t increase his worth at someone else’s expense

Because he's not afraid of trying, say he's got no style

'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say things that make you smile

[Chorus]

He’s the property of Jesus

Resent him to the bone

You got something better

You’ve got a heart of stone

[Verse 5]

You can laugh at salvation, you can play Olympic games

You think that when you rest at last you’ll go back from where you came

But you’ve picked up quite a story and you’ve changed since the womb

What happened to the real you, you’ve been captured but by whom?

[Chorus]

He’s the property of Jesus

Resent him to the bone

You got something better

You’ve got a heart of stone
