lyrics
Wayward baby
She gave her heart away
To the man of lawlessness
Who holds the cards
He draws, you pay
Danger baby
I tell you what you must do
Make peace with your Maker
Despite it all
He still loves you
Jesus came down to the world
To set the captives free
Sold as slaves to sin
While we were yet deceived
Wayward baby
She sold her soul today
To the prince of this world
Who cares not for
You’re but a morsel, dear
Danger baby
To mix mortals and free will
Yet I see you so want love
In spite of you
He loves you still
He loves you still
He loves you still
He always will
Jesus came down to the world
To set the captives free
Sold as slaves to sin
While we were yet deceived
The crucified Christ
Did pay the price for us thieves
In resurrected life just trust and believe
Just believe
Only believe
Just believe
Please believe
Jesus loves you
Jesus loves me
Jesus loves you, baby
He always will
No matter where you’ve been
No matter what you’ve seen
No matter what you’ve done
No matter what you’ve sung
No matter who you slept around with
No matter if you’re gay
No matter if you dogged with Rock
And ended up with AIDS
He loves you if you hate yourself
Or if you hate Him too
He’s been here and He knows all men
He knows this human zoo
He knows the black, the WASP
The Sikh, the Arab
The Catholic, the Jew
He knows you
He’s calling out to you
He loves you still
He loves you still
He always will ...
