Jesus, I am overjoyed
To meet you face to face
You've been getting quite a name
All around the place
Healing cripples
Raising from the dead
Now I understand you're God
At least that's what you've said
So you are the Christ
You're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're divine-
Change my water into wine
That's all you need do
Then I'll know it's all true
C'mon King of the Jews
Jesus you just won't believe
The hit you've made around here
You are all we talk about
You're the wonder of the year
Oh what a pity
If it's all a lie
Still I'm sure
That you can rock the cynics if you try
So if you are the Christ
Yes the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're no fool-
Walk across my swimming pool
If you do that for me
Then I'll let you go free
C'mon King of the Jews
I only ask what I'd ask any superstar
What is it that you have got
That puts you where you are? (Oh, ho ho)
I am waiting
Yes I'm a captive fan
I'm dying to be shown
That you are not just any man
So if you are the Christ
Yes the great Jesus Christ
Feed my household with this bread
You can do it on your head
Or has something gone wrong?
Jesus, why do you take so long?
Aw, c'mon King of the Jews
Hey! Aren't you scared of me Christ?
Mister Wonderful Christ!
You're a joke, you're not the Lord
You are nothing but a fraud
Take him away
He's got nothing to say!
Get out you King of the
Get out you King of the,
Get out you King of the Jews!
Get out of here, you, you!
Get out of here, you!
GET OUT OF MY LIFE!
