Collin Raye - What If Jesus Comes Back Like That lyrics

rate me

(Pat Bunch/Doug Johnson)

He came to town on an old freight train

He jumped off in the pouring rain

Everybody says he's insane

Just a low down no account hobo

He made his bed beneath the county bridge

The city folks said hey, that's not his

They signed a petition they're gonna get rid

Of that low down no account white trash

What if Jesus comes back like that

On an old freight train in a hobo hat

Will we let him in or turn our back

What if Jesus comes back like that

Oh what if Jesus comes back like that

She was born into drug abuse

She couldn't help what her mama used

It wasn't like she got to choose

Now she's layin' there all alone

Got a monkey on her back

The nurses say they never saw a smile like that

Doctor says she might stand a chance

If somebody takes her home

What if Jesus comes back like that

Two months early and hooked on crack

Will we let him in or turn our back

What if Jesus comes back like that

Oh what if Jesus comes back like that

Nobody said life is fair

We've all got a cross to bear

When it gets a little hard to care

Just think about him hanging there

He came to town on a cold dark night

A single star his only light

The baby born that silent night

A manger for his bed

What if Jesus comes back like that

Where will he find out hearts are at

Will he let us in or turn his back

What if Jesus comes back like that

Will he cry when he sees where our hearts are at

Will he let us in or turn his back

What if Jesus comes back like that

Hey what if Jesus comes back like that
