(V1)

Well, I was on my own

before I got around to livin'
For a reason of believing
that my sins could be forgiven

Yeah, I wondered how a guy like me could ever pay his dues.
That's when I got to ponderin'
'bout the money I been squanderin',

'bout the people I been cheatin'
And the women I been beatin'.
No, I never gave a damn about nothin' til I met you.


(Ch 1)


Oh, my saviour is the only one
His halls are filled with trophies
From all the battles that he's won.

When all the world was tangled in his hair
He made the water, then he made the air.


(V2)

So I bailed out of jail

And I got myself a job
No, I didn't last long, but hey,
My boss was a snob

And you know that a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
My friend said, if I wanted,
I could stay at his house

But soon after kicked me out
for lookin' down his woman's blouse
Yeah, I should have known better but I was young and still such a fool.


(CH 2)


And oh, my saviour is a jealous one
He delivers wrath upon us
Using bayonet and gun

When all the world was dripping from his mouth,
He made the north, and then he made the south.


(Bridge)

(CH3)


And oh, my saviour is a lonely one
We didn't seem him coming

'til he blotted out the sun.
When all the world was screaming in his ears,
He made the eyes, and then he made the tears.
