Track 6. You say you've met Jesus

You say that you've met Jesus, were there still scars upon his hands?
You say that you've met Jesus, were there still scars upon his hands?
Or was he wearing fine silk gloves instead
Stepping from a limousine as his advisers led him off
to yet another seminar on how to raise the dead
Just as they'd planned
You say that you've met Jesus, were there still scars upon his hands?

You say that you've met Jesus, was there still sweat upon his brow?
You say that you've met Jesus, was there still sweat upon his brow?
Or was he a stranger on the far side of the room
A statue carved in ivory through incense-scented gloom
Bedecked in gold and jewels, as men would carry to a tomb
He's silent now
You say that you've met Jesus, was there still sweat upon his brow?

You say that you've met Jesus, were there still tears in his eyes?
You say that you've met Jesus, were there still tears in his eyes?
Or was he smiling, serene but still unreal
Offering experience to change the way you feel
Each time you quote the holy formulae, or buy in on the deal
and the disguise
You say that you've met Jesus, were there still tears in his eyes?

Or was it just a ghost out on the highway
Just a wandering spirit who misled you, with a name....

You say that you've met Jesus, was he still carrying that cross?
You say that you've met Jesus, was he still carrying that cross?
Or was history re-written, and all the story changed
To a gospel for your comfort, and a pathway free of pain
Where the chosen few are blessed with faith that always brings them gain
But never loss
You say that you've met Jesus, was he still carrying that cross?
