If you're broken down
Jesus is waiting, hey yeah
Don't let yourself down
He standing right there behind you
Helping you to make up your mind
Jesus is waiting, hey
Do I have to say it again (say it again)
Jesus is waiting, hey
Talking 'bout, you've got a friend
Reach down in your heart and say
A little prayer just for me
He's the one that believes in love
Can't you see
Hey
Just saying
Jesus is waiting
Love is the only salvation
Understand me
Jesus is waiting
Love is the only medication
Understand me
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Help me, help me

And I'll help you,
Save my soul

Do what I can to
Stand up and be a man

Jesus is waiting, hey

I wish the band would just reggae
