He came into this world for the rejects
|
Look into the Bible - then you need to size up the facts
|
Dwell upon the facts - and learn about His grace
|
Everything's in First Corinthians Verse 1:28
|
Hey, i think about the day when the world He came to save
|
went astray and they nailed him to a tree
|
How He stuck with 'em though they did that stuff
|
And went on just to suffer and got lumped with us all
|
(Hey) like the chumps, like the tramps, like the drunks
|
Like the punks, like the bums, like the scum like us all
|
We've all been really bad (Oh?) No one is really good (No?)
|
It's kinda sad - Christ's the laughin' stock of the neighbourhood
|
And you would think He'd try to prove 'em wrong
|
But Christ He suffered like I said, stuck up on the death cross
|
He said that they just made a mistake
|
And God should give 'em a break - we oughta praise Jesus' name
|
Saved us from Hell, what you want me to say?
|
I know why and I can't deny
|
He did it all for the crooked (Come on!) the hookers (Come on!)
|
So you can be bad lookin' and still get up to Heaven!
|
Still get up to Heaven! Still get up to Heaven!
|
Why did He save those bums? Why did He save those scum, huh?
|
Can't figure it out, but He said it in Matthew 21:31
|
and still they didn't get it
|
He came to treat the guys who were diseased
|
Cause the well don't want a doctor's help or hospitality
|
He had to get 'em all better
|
Like tax collectors, harlots and lepers and self-righteous hecklers
|
(Hey) like the chumps
|
CHORUS
|
I'm goin' to Romans - just so you'll read verse 3:10
|
Religious Pharisees - They'll tell you - They're very good
|
That's easier said than done
|
Psalm verse 53:3 - Righteous? No not one
|
Jesus alone - Jesus alone - Just Jesus alone
|
What we wanna say is humans don't obey
|
And I could quote the same verse in Psalm 14 verse 3
|
All have gone astray but you can know the way
|
The righteous ones are scarce here - we're all in need of grace
|
What's it gonna take for you to go and pray
|
'Cause Christ just wants to save you
|
and all you need is faith
|
CHORUS
|
|
Matthew 21:31b
|
Jesus said to them,"I tell you the truth,
|
the tax collectors and the prositutes
|
are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you."
