Lyric Jesus Is the Only One That Loves Us

(Bobby Bare - Billy Joe Shaver)

See the Sunday morning wino slowly shufflin down the street
The only God he knows clutched in his hand
And heaven s just a drink from his bottle
And Jesus Christ to him is just another man.

Yes, Jesus is the only one that loves us
He ll forgive us when we sin
Jesus is the only one that loves us
Even when we think we haven t got a friend.

In cheap hotel room somewhere in Chicago
A cheatin husband takes his neighbor s wife
Lord, that s not the way he did it in Korea
Still it s just another way of takin someone s life.

Around the corner in a cement city alley
Hidin from the cold Chicago rain
While the Salvation Army band was playin
A junky rolls his sleeves up and lets his Saviour in.

Yes, Jesus is the only one that loves us
He ll forgive us when we sin
Jesus is the only one that loves us
Even when we think we haven t got a friend.

Yes, Jesus is the only one that loves us
He ll forgive us when we sin
Jesus is the only one that loves us
Even when we think we haven t got a friend...
