lyrics
The King left His throne and His crown
And made Himself of no reputation
He left His Father’s side
To go and take He’self a bride
Now the old story’s still the same
How He laid down His life
And took it up again
He put His love on the line
Now I got Jesus on my mind
Well He tread this earth
Searchin' for a faithful lover
Who’d take Him at His Word
That He was who He claimed to be
And He performed miraculous signs
He loosed the bonds of the slave
He opened the eyes of the blind
Just like He did for me last night
And now I got Jesus on my mind
I can’t take religion
But I desire to be loved
And anyone
Who says He loves me that much
Deserves looking into
Is worth checking out
Check it out
I can’t take religion
But I desire to be loved
And anyone
Who shows He loves us that much
Deserves looking into
Is worth checking out
Check you out
Now you may laugh at His name
But your ignorance, it betrays you
And He still loves you so
For you know not what you do
Cause if you knew Him like I know Him
And to know Him is to love Him
He’d be the Lord of your life
The one and only Jesus
Jesus Christ
Love of my life
I got Jesus
Jesus on my mind.
