Jesus Is The Only One That Loves Us

(album: I Need Some Good News Bad - 1971)

See the Sunday morning wino slowly shuffling down the street
The only God he knows clutched in his hand
And heaven's just a drink from his bottle
And Jesus Christ to him is just another man.

Yes, Jesus is the only one that loves us
He'll forgive us when we sin
Jesus is the only one that loves us
Even when we think we haven't got a friend.

In cheap hotel room somewhere in Chicago
A cheating husband takes his neighbor's wife
Lord, that's not the way he did it in Korea
Still it's just another way of taking someone's life.

Around the corner in a cement city alley
Hiding from the cold Chicago rain
While the Salvation Army band was playing
A junky rolls his sleeves up and lets his Saviour in.

Yes, Jesus is the only one that loves us
He'll forgive us when we sin
Jesus is the only one that loves us
Even when we think we haven't got a friend.

Yes, Jesus is the only one that loves us
He'll forgive us when we sin
Jesus is the only one that loves us
Even when we think we haven't got a friend...
