If I Were to Make Things Right With Jesus

by Nick Jaina

if I were to make things right with Jesus
would he sow in barley fields
with the wound that never heals?
if I were to make things right with Jesus
would he cauterize my wounds with his own blood?

and if he wears a crown
if he wears a crown
tell him he ought to take it off
and if he wears a crown
if he wears a crown
tell him he ought to take it off

if I were to make things right with Jesus
would he barely say a word
like a drunken Mynah bird?
if I were to make things right with Jesus
would he treat me like just another customer?

and if he’s on a cross
if he’s on a cross
tell him he ought to come down
and cut his losses

and if he’s on a cross
if he’s on a cross
tell him he ought to come down
and cut his losses

if I were to make things right with Jesus
would he polish what was mine
would he make my trumpet shine?
if I were to make things right with Jesus
would he calm me down all worries all fears?

and if he wears a cross
if he wears a cross
I think that I would like to shake his hand

and if he wears a cross
if he wears a cross
I think that I would like to shake his hand
