lyrics

Hello, Jesus
Jesus children
Jesus loves you
Jesus children
Hello, children "Jesus loves you" of America

Are you hearing
What He's saying?
Are you feeling
What you're praying?
Are you hearing, praying, feeling
What you say inside?

You'd better tell
Your story fast
And if you lie, yeah
It will come to pass

Tell me, holy
Holy roller
Are you standing
Like a soldier?
Are you standing for everything you talk about?

You'd better tell
Your story fast
And if you lie
It will come to pass

Jesus died on
Cross for us
Mary is just
Looking at us
Mother Mary feels the whole world's pain

You'd better tell
Your story fast
And if you lie
It will come to pass

Tell the truth and make it last
