lyrics

The Prophet

He’d been warned should he stray
Barren thoughts would fill his days
And the prophet said unto You we praise
Said you came in the form of a burning flame
Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Lesson learned, all the same
No power stand against His name.
Mama if you say this prayer
The blood of the lamb for his despair
If he’d lift his hands would anything change
Would my father’s sins be washed away
Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Lesson learned, it’s all the same
No power stand against His--
Will she ever see
A prayer’s the last thing that he needs
Or is this a sign, he’s to be damned all his life
For his lack of faith
Is this the way
He must
Praise down his knees
God forgive him please
If he’s been too
Burned to believe
Jesus loves me this I know
For the bible tells me so
Lesson learned
It’s all the same
No power stand against His
name

(mmmmMMmmm…)
Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
