Sweet Jesus

[Verse 1:]
In spite of all my sin
And my wayward ways of livin'
I'm counting on you, Lord
You swore I'd be forgiven

Though I vowed never to steal
Or covet or to murder
But one thing could break the deal
Its the thought that he could hurt her
Its the thought that he could take her life away

[Chorus:]
So they, my Lord, shall return to thee
Sweet Jesus
All the perfect bodies running wild and free
Oh baby
For eternity within your lovin' arms
Oh baby
For a life a-promised free of pain and harm

[Verse 2:]
On the day I heard the news
I had no doubt or question
Let the law protect the innocent
I knew I had to get him

Face down in the mud
A villain for a villain
My hands all wet with blood
Still I don't know if I killed him
Still I don't know if I took his life away

[Chorus:]
So they, my Lord, shall return to thee
Sweet Jesus
All the perfect bodies running wild and free
Oh baby
For eternity within your lovin' arms
Oh baby
For a life a-promised free of pain and harm

So they, my Lord, shall return to thee
Sweet Jesus
All the perfect bodies running wild and free
Oh baby
For eternity within your lovin' arms
Oh baby
For a life a-promised free of pain and harm
Sweet Jesus

For eternity within your lovin' arms
Oh baby
For a life a-promised free of pain and harm
Sweet Jesus
(Oh baby)
Sweet Jesus
(Oh baby)
Sweet Jesus
(Oh baby)
Sweet Jesus
