He Just Came For Jesus

(V1)
A middle aged man in a shabby coat
Came staggering into church smelling like a goat
He plopped down on the front row pew
And the deacons didn’t know just what to do
Everyone watched him like a hawk
As he lifted one brown and one blue sock
Grass and leaves were tangled in his hair
But he didn’t really seem to care

(Hook 1)
He just came for Jesus and for Christians too

(V2)
Nobody shook his hand or said hello
The pastor was hoping he’d get up and go
He didn’t look like one of the flock
In fact, he put the whole church in shock
But you should have seen the pastor’s face
When the man sang the words to Amazing Grace

(Hook 1)
He just came for Jesus and for Christians too

(Chorus)
He didn’t wear a suit, He didn’t have a car
He sure didn’t look like a movie star
But when he looked to heaven and began to cry
His love for God nobody could deny

(Hook 1)
He just came for Jesus and for Christians too

(V2)
Well, the church repented of their evil ways
They embraced the man for the rest of his days
And when they read his final will
There were tears in their eyes and their hearts were still
He said I came for Jesus and for Christians too
Now I leave ten million bucks for you

(Hook 2)
I just came for Jesus and for Christians too

(Repeat chorus/hook 1)
