Lyrics

I heard it's hard to teach an old dog a new trick,
But I also heard a thing called saving grace.
I may not be religious,
But there's something bout this Jesus I can’t shake.
So many times that I have tried to read the good book,
Just to put it back up on the shelf.
They say inside there's treasure,
But inside it sometimes makes me feel like Hell.
But there's something bout this Jesus
That reminds me just a little of myself.
If Jesus can turn water into wine,
Maybe He can make me sweeter?
If Jesus can bring dead things back to life,
Maybe He can save this heathen?
If you saw me in public, you might think that I’m alright,
But you ain't ever seen me in my house.
Cause I do things in secret,
But they're things that I won't ever talk about.
But I heard about the woman they caught with the wrong man,
How they gathered rocks to kill her in the street.
Jesus made them drop their stones
By asking them if they lived perfectly,
And if I’m just like the woman
Do you think that Jesus would do that for me?
If Jesus can turn water into wine,
Maybe He can make me sweeter?
If Jesus can bring dead things back to life,
Maybe He can save this heathen?
I heard You made the world, but still, You look a lot like me.
How could You be God and still be man?
Maybe if I talked to You,
You’d listen and You’d try to understand?
Maybe if I take this leap of faith,
I could be a better man?
'Cause Jesus, You turned water into wine,
So come and make me sweeter!
And Jesus, You bring dead things back to life,
So come and save this heathen!
I never thought that I would find myself in this place.
I swore I’d never get down on my knees.
But here I am a broken man
With my confession and apology.
Here I am a humbled man,
A heathen, saying Jesus I believe!
