I was feeling bad I was all worn down I'd lost the sun behind an endless cloud Then I finally understood that childhood story That they shouted in our ears on Sunday morning I found Jesus Green Jesus Pick me up right off my knees, Jesus If our savior's name is sweet relief and he came to bring us peace Then I'll pray each day to green Jesus I took a nice deep breath I opened up those blinds I heard my favorite song just like the first time My neighbor asked, how are you? When I smiled and waved I looked him in the eyes and I said, saved Cause I found Jesus Green Jesus Pick me up right off my knees, Jesus I'll close my eyes and breathe in deep And welcome sweet relief When I pray each day to green Jesus Blessed rainfall and holy sun Makes green, sacred green to share with everyone Sometimes I get mean I forget to sing It builds up my tension I've spent too long curling a fist Now I'm trying to unclench them I never knew the deadheads in my high school class I liked to show up early and talk too fast Til I found Jesus Green Jesus Pick me up right off my knees, Jesus I'll close my eyes and start to sing And let that doorbell ring When I pray each day to green Jesus
