lyrics

EVEN JESUS GOT THE BLUES


He came down from heaven to walk in mankind's shoes
He came to earth to tell us the very best of news (but)
The people wouldn't listen though He gave them little clues
He was glory incarnate but even Jesus got the blues

When Lazarus was dying
He said "he's just asleep" (but)
When He stood beside the gravesite
The Lord began to weep

He came down from heaven to walk in mankind's shoes
He came to earth to tell us the very best of news (but)
The people wouldn't listen though He gave them little clues
He is joy beyond measure but even Jesus got the blues

He was praying in the garden and
As He cried, He bled
He asked His friends to listen (but)
They went to sleep instead

He came down from heaven to walk in mankind's shoes
He came to earth to tell us the very best of news (and)
To drink that cup of sufferin' - my God, He paid some dues
He was the man of sorrow - even Jesus got the blues

(solo)

He came down from heaven to walk in mankind's shoes
He came to earth to tell us the very best of news (but)
The people wouldn't listen though He gave them little clues
He is joy beyond measure but even Jesus got the blues
