If I was Jesus, I'd have some real long hair
A robe and some sandals, that’d be what I'd wear
I'd be the guy at the party, turning water to wine
Me and my disciples, we'd have a real good time.
 CHORUS
   Ooh and I'd lay my life down for you
   And I'd show you who's the boss
   I'd forgive you and adore you
   While I was hanging on your cross
If I Was Jesus, I’d have some friends that were poor
I'd run around with the wrong crowd, man I'd never be bored
Then I'd heal me a blind man, get myself crucified
By politicians and preachers, who got somethin' to hide.
 CHORUS
If I was Jesus, I'd come back from the dead
And I'd walk on some water, just to mess with your head
I know your dark little secrets, I'd look you right in the face
And I'd tell you I love you, with Amazing Grace.
 CHORUS
If I was Jesus
If I was Jesus
