I'm Only Jesus

[Verse 1]

Bobby's got a duster '79

Bottle of Jack and a 45

Points it at his head

And he starts to cry

Too proud to ask me

To save his life

[Verse 2]

Billy's in a limo

On the upper east side

Playing Russian Roulette

With the long white line

His wife gets a call at 3 a.m

Saying "Billy ain't never coming home again"

She asks me why?

[Chorus]

And I said

I sure wish you'd believe

That everybody's free

And I'll help you if you ask me to

I gave every star a name

The sunshine and the rain

But I can't decide the road you choose

That's up to you

I'm only Jesus

[Verse 3]

Johnny had a good job

Rakin' it in

Caviar parties

With his well to do friends

Something was missing

From his perfect little life

He threw in the towel

And he called me one night

[Verse 4]

Betty was an orphan

Like so many kids

They taught her in school

That I didn't exist

She had every reason not to talk to me

But every night before bed

She got down on her knees

Just to tell me hi

[Chorus]

And I said

I sure wish you'd believe

That everybody's free

And I'll help you if you ask me to

I gave every star a name

The sunshine and the rain

But I can't decide the road you choose

That's up to you

I'm only Jesus

[Chorus 2]

Hey you're all the same to me

Everybody's free

And I'll help you if you ask me to

I gave every star a name

The sunshine and the rain

But I can't decide the road you choose

That's up to you

I'm only Jesus

I'm only Jesus

I'm only Jesus

[Outro]

Gotta have Jesus to see the light

Gotta have Jesus to hold you tight

Gotta have Jesus to talk to me

I gotta have Jesus to set me free
