I Made A Deal With Jesus Christ
Lyrics
I made a deal with Jesus Christ
I said, "I want my life back"
he said, "you name the price"
As I was leaving he broke down and cried
He said, "I always loved you, but you never tried"
They say those hands weave a mystery
and in the end it will be clear to see
They're plucking answers from the answer tree
While their children sweat with a fistful of seeds
Trading hope for insecurities
Praying daily for some mercy
Can't they see the sky is torn apart?
Can't they tell the ocean is drying up?
I love the way the bows are bending
I love the music in the air
I'll take this thought with me forever
Sometimes I wish you were still here
Something's missing from the big picture
But excuses never seemed so sweet
Put down your guns, I want a minute of your time
Then you can finish with your genocide
What do you dream of when you sleep?
What voices come to you at night?
You and me, we are alike
Long forgotten while we fight
I made a deal with Jesus Christ
I said, "I want my life back"
he said, "you name the price"
As I was leaving he broke down in tears
I said, "I will remember you with the passing of the years"
