  JESUS, HE KNOWS ME

Do you see the face on the TV screen

coming at you every Sunday

see the face on the billboard?

that man is me.

On the cover of the magazine

there's no question why I'm smiling

you buy a piece of paradise

you buy a piece of me

I'll get you everything you wanted

I'll get you everything you need

don't need to believe in hereafter

just believe in me.

Cos Jesus he knows me

and He knows I'm right

I've been talking to Jesus all my life

oh, yes he knows me

and He knows I'm right

and He's been telling me

everything is alright.

I believe in the family

with my ever loving wife beside me

but she don't know about my girlfriend

or the man I met last night.

Do you believe in God

cos that's what I'm selling

and if you wanna go to Heaven

I'll see you right.

You won't ever have to leave your house

or get out of your chair

you don't ever have to touch that dial

cos I'm everywhere

And Jesus he knows me.

Won't find me practising

what I'm preaching

won't find me

making no sacrifice

but I can get you

a pocketful of miracles

if you promise to be good,

try to be nice,

God will take

good care of you

just do as I say,

don't do as I do.

I'm counting my blessings,

I've found true happiness

cos I'm getting richer day by day

you can find me in the phone book,

just call my toll free number

you can do it anyway you want

just do it right away.

 

There'll be no doubt in your mind

you'll believe everything I'm saying

if wanna get closer to him

get on your knees and start paying

 

Cos Jesus He knows me.
