Jesus and Jezebel - Rachel Potter

Preacher says we should love our neighbors

But I don’t even know my neighbors' names

And every Sunday, it’s the same

Trying to find the answers in the stained glass window

All the sins I carry on my shoulders

Well, it’s a wonder that I made it through the door

Broke some golden rules the good book said I should stick to

Does that make me rotten to the core?

The whispers in the pews, well, they ain’t praying for me and you

How can a place so sacred be filled with so much hatred?

But me and Jesus, we’re as thick as thieves

If you don’t believe us, maybe you just don’t believe

They may say a girl like me is going straight to hell

Oh, but I think Jesus can love this Jezebel

I met my best friend Jack in Sunday school

Singing about the B-I-B-L-E

Learning about the love that purifies each one of us

And in his eyes, we are free

But Jack grew up and fell in love with Adam

Pretty soon the word sure got around

Those folks who agreed, that Adam should love Eve

Well they kicked Jack and Adam to the ground

Yeah, whispers in the pews, well, they ain’t praying for me and you

If we’re covered by his blood then who are they to judge?

Yeah, cause Jack and Jesus they’re as thick as thieves

If you don’t believe us, maybe you just don’t believe

They may say straight or gay, we’re going straight to hell

Oh, but I think Jesus can love this Jezebel

This little light is mine, so let me let it shine

This little light is mine, so let me let it shine

This little light is mine, so let me let it shine

This little light is mine, so let me let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine

Yeah, me and Jesus, we’re as thick as thieves

If you don’t believe us, maybe you just don’t believe

They may say if I act this way, I’m going straight to hell

Oh, but I think Jesus can love this Jezebel

Oh, oh yeah, I know Jesus loves this Jezebel
