A Gospel Number Lyrics by Over the Rhine

Good Dog Bad Dog: The Home Recordings (2008 Re-release)

1996

Will a man called Jesus ever take me in his arms?
Will a man called Jesus ever take me in his arms?
I lack grace and I lack charm
This is cause for no alarm
If a man called Jesus ever takes me in his arms
Will a man called Jesus ever touch me on my face?
Will a man called Jesus ever touch me on my face?
The tears I cried would be erased
This to me would be amazing grace
If a man called Jesus ever touched me on my face
If he touched my face
Waiting, waiting, waiting
I'm still waiting
If a man called Jesus ever touched me on my face
Will a man called Jesus ever look me in the eyes?
Will a man called Jesus ever look me in the eyes?
Burn away my alibis
Separate the truth from your vicious lies
If a man called Jesus ever looked me in the eyes
Waiting, waiting, waiting
I'm still waiting
If a man called Jesus ever looks me in the eyes
In the eyes, in the eyes
Mercy, mercy, mercy
I'll cry mercy
If a man called Jesus ever looks me in the eyes
If a man called Jesus ever looks me in the eyes
If a man called Jesus ever looks me in the eyes
