He’s not sittin’ up in the White House Not subject to your big debate Keeps His hands completely off Wall Street Don’t own stocks, bonds or Real Estate He ain’t up droppin’ bombs on people Or workin’ on a college degree He tunes out all them radio blowhards Can’t stand the networks and religious TV
That’s Jesus in the homeless faces With the junkies in their livin’ hell That’s Jesus with the drunks and in The lonely places The rest homes and prison cells That’s where Jesus is That’s where Jesus is
He don’t hug trees or kill ‘em Or drive a particular car Won’t help you write a big hit song Don’t care how good lookin’ you are And Jesus won’t be voting He’s not your party crashin’ dog in this fight Not a fan rootin’ for your home team Don’t insure that your future is bright
That’s Jesus in the homeless faces With the junkies in their livin’ hell That’s Jesus with the drunks and in The lonely places The rest homes and prison cells That’s where Jesus is Where we ought to be Here’s where Jesus works Inside you and me With the folks with AIDS And the suffering kids That’s where Jesus hangs That’s where Jesus is
On the corner ‘round the prostitutes Is where He’ll probably show He gets invited to church sometimes And sometimes He don’t go Don’t care nuthin’ about your status What you can or you can’t afford Don’t care if you’re voted best actor Not impressed with your big award
He’s not in the five star restaurant Eating a six course meal He’s not over on some golf course Discussing the oil deal
He wants our voice (That’s where Jesus is) That’s how He talks (That’s where Jesus is) That’s how He walks (That’s where Jesus is) And He wants our faith (That’s where Jesus is) But there’s never enough He wants our hearts (That’s where Jesus is) That’s how He Loves
That’s where Jesus is That’s where Jesus is That’s where Jesus is
