But I won't let Jesus find, find me
I walk, I eat, I sleep
In these streets I may be found
Alive or dead or just reborn
One day before Easter comes
But I won't let Jesus find, find me
Jesus knows what I've done
I won't let him lift me up
Before I can turn to look for him
Before I can turn to look for him
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, find me
I'm gonna hide, hide from him
Hide myself but not the sin
I'm gonna hide, hide from him
Hide myself but no the sin
If Jesus comes around again
I've got the rock, the needle
The bottle of sorrow
And Jesus, Jesus, Jesus knows
