jesus loves you

jesus loves you
i read it on a sign
so if you fear
this time of year
don't let your mood decline.

jesus loves you -
at risk of being glib:
the shepherds knew
the donkey too -
he's loved you from the crib.

jesus loves you
he'll boost your self-esteem:
in bleaker trends
when you've no friends
he'll have you on his team.

jesus loves you
that's what the angels sing
don't pine for love
when up above
the party's in full swing.

jesus loves you
so if you've been a crook
confess your sin
and you will win
i read it in a book.

jesus loves you
he's loved you from the start
just say your prayers
and pay your fares
and you won't break his heart.

jesus loves you
yes, even when you're pissed
so close your ears
to all those fears
that he may not exist.

jesus loves you
that's why he came to call;
his end was bad
but don't be sad
in life he had a ball.
