"Green Jesus" lyrics

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
