Will a man called Jesus ever take me in his arms?

Will a man called Jesus ever take me in his arms?

I lack grace and I lack charm.

This is cause for no alarm,

if a man called Jesus ever takes me in his arms.



Will a man called Jesus ever touch me on my face?

Will a man called Jesus ever touch me on my face?

The tears I cried would be erased.

This to me would be amazing grace,

if a man called Jesus ever touched me on my face.



Waiting, waiting, waiting,

I'm still waiting.

If a man called Jesus ever touched me on my face.



Will a man called Jesus ever look me in the eyes?

Will a man called Jesus ever look me in the eyes?

Burn away my alibis,

separate the truth from your vicious lies,

if a man called Jesus ever looked me in the eyes.



Waiting, waiting, waiting,

I'm still waiting.

if a man called Jesus ever looks me in the eyes.

Mercy, mercy, mercy,

I'll cry mercy

if a man called Jesus ever looks me in the eyes.
