about

A song about welcoming Christ into life.

lyrics

Take off your shoes
and make yourselves more comfortable.
It's hard to stay that way in here for long.
I just heard the news,
someone who's life was wonderful
been crying cause somebody's
done him wrong.

Jesus, can you straighten out the crooked?
Can you love the living hell out of the wicked?
and Jesus, won't you stay
and have some dinner
even though you're eating with a sinner?

Take off your coat.
Come sit with me,
take off a load
so you can try my burden on instead.
What do you know,
my burden fits you perfectly,
and here's a crown of pain
I hope it fits your precious head.

Jesus, won't you come and be our shepherd?
Destroy the city gates
and cleanse the lepers.
and Jesus, while you're here,
would you please save me?
I've torn apart the gift of life
you gave me.

Where did you go?
You left your shoes,
you left your coat.
I hope you're coming back someday for me.
I see your load,
your burden sitting by your chair.
I try it on, it fits me perfectly.
Jesus, since you came I feel much better.
Jesus, I'm a friend of yours forever.
Jesus I'd just like to stop the music
To tell you that I love you,
I'd live and die to prove it just like you did.
