Jesus He Knows Me (We Can't Dance 1991)

Текст песни Genesis - Jesus He Knows Me (We Can't Dance 1991)

[Intro - Speech]
It was on a divine visitation, that the Lord told me that I was to go on the television. I was lying on the bed and the bed began to go around, and I had the sensation like I was on a merry-go-round. And then the furniture joined in and then I was in the stars! There were stars everywhere; above me, below me, to the left of me, to the right of me. Millions and millions of stars and the Lord said ‘the stars are the souls that you will win for me.’

The Lord actually talks to me, you know, I hear what’s being said, and he said to me ‘Get me $18 million by the weekend’, and the Angel of the Lord stands by my side and speaks into my ear and it’s a beautiful thing and I hear what’s being said. It’s a marvellous, marvellous experience; I never thought such a thing could happen – in the name of Jesus!

And the Lord spoke to me: he said ‘Stretch forth your hands, TELL the people to put their hands against yours, and I will heal them. Get me $18 million by the weekend. TOUCH THE SCREEN, TOUCH THE SCREEN!’

[Verse 1]
D'you see the face on the TV screen
Coming at you every Sunday?
See the face on the billboard?
Well that man is me
On the cover of a magazine
There's no question why I'm smiling
You buy a piece of paradise, you buy a piece of me

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
You don't need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me

[Chorus]
Cause Jesus, he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus
All my life
Oh yes, he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Well, he's been telling me everything is alright
[Verse 2]
I believe in the family
With my ever-loving wife beside me
But she don't know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night
Do you believe in God?
Cause that is what I'm selling
And if you wanna get to heaven
Well, I'll see you right

[Pre-Chorus]
You won't even have to leave your house
Or get out of your chair
You don't even have to touch that dial
Cause I'm everywhere

[Chorus]
Jesus, he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus
All my life
Oh yes, he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Well, he's been telling me everything's gonna be alright

[Speech]
God’s everywhere; he just uses me as his instrument. He speaks, the power goes through my voice: the sign of the cross. Jesus told me that
[Bridge]
Won't find me practicing what I'm preaching
Won't find me making no sacrifice
But I can get you a pocketful of miracles
If you promise to be good, try to be nice
God will take good care of you
Well, just do as I say, don't do as I do

[Verse 3]
Well, I'm counting my blessings
As I've found true happiness
Cause I'm a-getting richer
Day by day
You can find me in the phone book
Just call my toll-free number
You can do it any way you want
Just do it right away

[Pre-Chorus]
And there'll be no doubt in your mind
You'll believe everything I'm saying
If you wanna get closer to Him
Get on your knees and start praying

[Chorus/Outro]
Cause Jesus, he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus
All my life
Oh yes, he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Well, he's been telling me everything's gonna be alright
Jesus, he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Jesus, he knows, he knows
Ooh, yes, he knows me
And he knows I'm right
Jesus, he knows, he knows
I've been talking to Jesus
All my life
Well, he's been telling me everything's gonna be alright

[Outro - Speech]
One day I was standing here in front of the cameras, right here in the cathedral, and the Lord spoke to me. He said ‘STRETCH FORTH YOUR HANDS AND TELL THE PEOPLE TO PUT THEIR HANDS AGAINST YOURS, AND I WILL HEAL THEM!’
He said this was a form of laying on of hands; so put your hands on the screens now. TOUCH THE SCREEN, TOUCH THE SCREEN! HEAL, HEAL, HEAL IN THE NAME OF JESUS, HEAL, TOUCH THE SCREEN, TOUCH THE SCREEN--
