Hey Jesus - Cain

It’s hard to make an honest living

When I’m not an honest guy

I cast my net into the water

And hope the tide runs high

Out there in the distance

I see you standing on the shore

You said there’s a new way of fishing

That I’ve never tried before

I thought You’d call the shots from across the sea

But You got down in the boat with me

Hey Jesus, I really want to follow You

'Cause no one’s ever done for me

The things I’ve watched You do

Hey Jesus, I really love who You are

I know I’ve got a ways to go

Could You walk with me that far?

I’m so glad You called my name

Before I could even say

Hey Jesus

I got caught up in some trouble

But I’m not putting up a fight

'Cause justice comes in the morning

For the sinning I do at night, oh yeah

Naked and abandoned

I’m bracing for the first stone

You touch my face and let me know

My accusers are gone

Thought You’d take Your place in the Judge’s seat

But You wrote in the sand for me, oh

Hey Jesus, I really want to follow You

'Cause no one’s ever done for me

The things I’ve watched You do

Hey Jesus, I really love who You are

I know I’ve got a ways to go

Could You walk with me that far?

I’m so glad You called my name

Before I could even say

Hey Jesus

Hey Jesus

Oh, yeah

There are three wooden crosses

Two thieves and a King

But can’t they see the innocence

Hanging here next to me?

Am I too late for forgiveness?

Would You remember me tonight?

And with Your dying breath You welcomed me to paradise

'Cause You could’ve left me alone in my suffering

But You stayed on the cross with me, oh!

Hey Jesus, I really want to follow You

'Cause no one’s ever done for me

The things I’ve watched You do

Hey Jesus, I really love who You are

I know I’ve got a ways to go

Could You walk with me

Hey, walk with me, yeah

I’m so glad You called my name, oh

Before I could even say

Hey Jesus
