In these streets I may be found

If Jesus comes around again

I´ll cry I´ll cry
I´ll cry for help
I´ll let you be the one
To try to redeem the sins of man
One day before Easter comes
But I won´t let Jesus find me

I´m gonna hide
Hide from him
Hide myself but most the sin
I´m gonna hide
Hide from him
Hide myself but not the sin
If Jesus comes around again
I´ve got the roch the needle
The bottle of sorrow
And Jesus Jesus Jesus knows
