Property of Jesus

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
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 walkin' through.He's the property of JesusResent him to the boneYou got something betterYou've got a heart of stoneStop your conversation when he passes on the street,Hope he falls upon himself, oh, won't that be sweetBecause he can't be exploited by superstition anymoreBecause he can't be bribed or bought by the things that you adore.He's the property of JesusResent him to the boneYou got something betterYou've got a heart of stoneWhen the whip that's keeping you in line doesn't make him jump,Say he's hard-of-hearin', say that he's a chump.Say he's out of step with reality as you try to test his nerveBecause he doesn't pay no tribute to the king that you serve.He's the property of JesusResent him to the boneYou got something betterYou've got a heart of stoneSay that he's a loser 'cause he got no common senseBecause he don't increase his worth at someone else's expense.Because he's not afraid of trying, 'cause he don't look at you and smile,'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.He's the property of JesusResent him to the boneYou got something betterYou've got a heart of stoneYou 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?He's the property of JesusResent him to the boneYou got something betterYou've got a heart of stone
