I Have Forgiven Jesus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was a good kid
I wouldn't do you no harm
I was a nice kid
With a nice paper round
Forgive me any pain
I may have brung to you
With God's help I know
I'll always be near to you
But Jesus hurt me
When he deserted me, but
I have forgiven you Jesus
For all the desire
He placed in me
When there's nothing I can do
With this desire
I was a good kid
Through hail and snow
I'd go just to moon you
I carried my heart in my hand
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
But Jesus hurt me
When he deserted me, but
I have forgiven you Jesus
For all of the love
He placed in me
When there's no one I can turn to
With this love
Monday, humiliation
Tuesday, suffocation
Wednesday, condescension
Thursday is pathetic
By Friday life has killed me
By Friday life has killed me
(Oh pretty one)
(Oh pretty one)
Why did you give me so much desire?
When there is nowhere I can go
To offload this desire?
And why did you give me so much love
In a loveless world
When there is no one I can turn to
To unlock all this love?
And why did you stick me in
Self deprecating bones and skin?
Jesus do you hate me?
Why did you stick me in
Self deprecating bones and skin?
Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
