That's Not Jesus Lyrics - Singles - Watson Wayne

Wayne Watson 

I Corinthians 10:12/I Peter 2:21-22 

I read the mornin' paper 

To my surprise and shame 

Said a black eye of embarrassment 

Been attached to Jesus' name 

Some mortal man convicted of some moldy moral sin 

And the skeptics wage their tongues and say 

"There goes that Jesus again" 

The story graced the TV 

And the magazines too long 

And if my heart ain't broken yet 

There must be somethin' wrong 

Because but for the grace of God 

I know it could be me 

And all that's left for me to do 

Is to help the world to see 

Chorus 

That's not Jesus 

He doesn't carry on that way 

Just some flesh and blood like you and me 

Somehow gone astray 

That's not Jesus, no 

No matter what "they" say 

He doesn't need me to defend Him 

He just wants me to obey 

He just wants me to obey 

Have you seen the masterpiece 

Of Jesus on the cross 

Well, if He's still a-hangin' there 

I'm hopeless--I am lost 

I believe the tomb is empty 

And the stone's been rolled away 

And because of all this trouble 

I still feel compelled to say 

Chorus 

And if your vision of Him 

Has gotten somehow blurred 

By a stumbling soldier in the field 

I'd like to say "I'm sorry" 

And remind you of one thing 

One day all the Truth will be revealed 

Repeat Chorus
