Jesus Christ
Dustin Kensrue Lyrics

Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face.
The amazing looks of Jesus Christ is the most eye-catching sight to see.

The kind you find on someone that could save.
Such charming looks are usually seen on someone who is capable of rescuing the needy.

If they don't put me away...
In case someone doesn't imprison me,

well, it'll be a miracle.
it will undoubtedly be a miracle.

Do you believe you're missin out?
Are you feeling that you are losing the chance to experience something great in life?

That everything good is happenin somewhere else,
You presume that all good things in life are happening in different places.

but with nobody in your bed
You find it hard to pass through the night without the warmth of someone's presence beside you.

the night's hard to get through?
At night, it's challenging to fight back the negative thoughts and bear loneliness.

And I, will die, all alone.
You believe that you will face death without anyone by your side.

And when I, arrive, I won't know anyone.
After I die, I'll not be familiar with anybody in the world beyond.

Jesus Christ, I'm alone again.
Again and again, I'm left all alone, and there is no one to call out for help.

So what did you do those three days you were dead?
He asks Jesus what he did while he was dead for three days.

'cause this problem's gonna last, more than the weekend.
The current situation will not end after a weekend, and it will last longer.

Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die.
He affirms that he isn't afraid of dying and is ready to die.

I'm a little bit scared of what comes after.
However, he is a bit anxious about the aftermath of death.

Do I get the gold chariot?
He wonders if he will be handed golden chariots after death.

Do I float through the ceiling?
He wonders if after death, he will go through the roofs.

Do I, divide, and pull apart?
He is unsure whether he can see the parts of his body split and divide after death.

'Cause my bright, is far too slight, to hold back all my dark.
His goodness is too inadequate to balance or overcome the darkness of his past.

And this ship, went down, in sight of land.
This life of mine got destroyed when it was almost at the point of salvation.

And at the gates, so Thomas, asked to see my hands.
When he reached heaven's gates, Saint Thomas asked to see his hands.

I know you're coming in the night like a thief,
He acknowledges that the reappearance of Jesus is imminent and is likely to come at any time.

but I've had some time alone, to hone my lying technique.
However, he admits that he's been practicing how to deceive people in his solitude time.

I know you think that I'm someone you can trust,
He thinks Jesus assumes he is faithful and trustworthy.

but I'm scared I'll get scared;
However, he's apprehensive that he might get too scared and make mistakes.

and I swear I'll try to nail you back up.
He's afraid that he might attempt to crucify Jesus again because of his intense fear.

So do you think that we could work out a sign...
He requests Jesus to come up with a sign to know it's Him when He comes back.

So I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try.
He won't have to try too hard because he will already recognize the sign.

I know you're coming for the people like me.
He knows that Jesus is coming to save people like him who are sinful and wicked.

We all got wood and nails
All human beings have the tools to inflict pain and violence on one another.

to choose that hate factories
We can use the same tools to create hate and discrimination in society.

We sleep inside of this machine.
We are trapped in the cycle of hate, and we're not aware that we are causing it ourselves.
