Neon Jesus

Neon Jesus hold my hand

Lead me to your promise land

These ghosts in heaven are grey and bland

These holy ghosts are in command

They pull me as I push away

How come you are so far away?

I need you here, I need you now

How I wish you did know how

I can’t stand it!

I can’t stand it!

I can’t stand it!

I’m a stranger in the holy land

But I keep my strangeness close at hand

The devil is at bay

At night I hear him as I lay

I hear him call, he calls my name

I do not want to be his dame

I cannot face this world alone

For I fear I am still unknown

In you I should draw my hope

But I fear these feelings will not be gone

You reign so high, p must admit

And sometimes I  wonder if we will meet

I can’t stand it!

I can’t stand it!

I can’t stand it!

I just want your bright salvation

Come and put your nails in me

Lead my body from temptation

On your cross I know I’m free

Neon jesus kiss my face

Fill me up with your burning grace

Deliver me from sinful place

I want to feel your embrace

I can’t stand it!

I can’t stand it!

I can’t stand it!

I’m a stranger in the holy land

But I keep my strangeness close at hand

They screamed so loud

They’re able to shout

They bang at my door

I can stand it no more

Is this the trial I should endure?

His plots are to lure

He calls me valuable

Making me feel so vulnerable

I can’t stand it!

I can’t stand it!

I can’t stand it!

With patience I wait for you still

I know you will come someday

You will not have to steal

For I will walk with you on that day

Just say when

And I will be there then

Neon jesus I’ll call your name

Even if they say its lame.
