Jesus Lives Within - Christian
Copyright © 1998 Kelli Caldwell
ROUGH A CAPPELLA VERSION!
Little red house on the corner
Lifesavers for Jesus
And a bright glow from the porch light
Says, it’s alright, come on in
But as the house begins to fade
Will we find a little lighter shade
Of love within?
Chorus:
Or are we ready to begin, again
With love we’ve found
Jesus Christ
He brings us round to Him
Ready to begin, again
With love we’ve found
Jesus Christ
He brings us round to Him
Ready to begin, again
Jesus lives within
Open doors facing the back street
Night shelter for homeless
Open hearts welcoming, this way
Say, it’s okay, here you go
But as the pain begins to grow
Will we find a little lesser show
Of helping hands?
Chorus:
Or are we ready to begin, again
With love we’ve found
Jesus Christ
He brings us round to Him
Ready to begin, again
With love we’ve found
Jesus Christ
He brings us round to Him
Ready to begin, again
Jesus lives within—
Jesus lives within
Bridge:
I—have tried to pick
My—self up?
What you do to the least of these
You also do to me
Chorus:
Or are we ready to begin, again
With love we’ve found
Jesus Christ
He brings us round to Him
Ready to begin, again
With love we’ve found
Jesus Christ
He brings us round to Him
Ready to begin, again
Jesus lives within—
Jesus lives within
