I Love You Jesus

[Chorus: Erica Arthur]

I love you Jesus, yes I do

I love you Jesus, yes it's true

I love you Jesus, yes I do

I love you Jesus, yes it's true

[Verse 1]

Satan is the choice of the majority

Jesus seems to be the choice of only the minority

But He's the ultimate authority we call it sovereignty

The most pre-eminent so He's got the most seniority-follow me

Without restraint who knows how hard the heart'll be

The world, flesh, and devil formed a three-man comradely

And my block could be proof and so can anthropology

Sin has long since become man's hottest commodity

Everything from robbery to Sodomy

To improperly getting cash to girls who flash like photography

Without properly understanding biblical prophecy

You can't possibly see where the stop will be

[Chorus repeat]

[Verse 2]

Meet the God who died for me enduring all the verbal mockery

Got to be cause He loves me like women love a shoppin' spree

His agape be the love that got to me, He adopted me

Now I'm in the family and I'm God's property

And periodically some youth will want to copy me

As I copy the Saviour so no more living sloppily

And as I start to get wobbly, God'll be

Mercy and Grace the ultimate team like cheese and broccoli

They make up for what we lack 'cause of our poverty

Fills in the gaps and the cracks up in our pottery

I believe I'ma die for sure not probably

"Or you can get raptured" - you're right, possibly

But I'ma share my philosophy, logically

I know I don't want hell Galapagos are too hot for me

If it's not for free and salvation's got a fee

I can't stand it I'm like Titanic out to sea

Sure to be abandoned like bad stocks will be

But no need cause Christ hit the jackpot for me

That's why I love Him

[Chorus repeat]

[Verse 3]

You know the world she's my ex-girl she keeps calling' me

Cause we used to go together kind of like your cars and keys

I was a fool, but we were cool as an autumn breeze

'Til I met the God who parted seas-pardon me

I had some bad rap and R&B

Ought to be considered as dangerous as clogged arteries

The flesh and Spirit's been warring like dogs and fleas

The God in me told me He's attacking all disease

It's getting hard for me to ignore the spiritual part of me

That wants to hear Christ and not just lyrical artistry

I want to please the One who stretched out His arms for me

And though I failed Him He let the nail Him on a tree

By now you're probably on to me

I think the Son's hot, hotter than high noon summer street corners be

To the only God who gave a Son because He wanted me

To Him all the praise, all the glory, and the honor be

[Chorus repeat]
