He Told Me Jesus Loves You

He wished me a happy New Year and to me reached his hand And you might say that we 'shook on it' yet i could not understand When he told me Jesus loves you 'methought' how would he know The thoughts of one who lived on this Earth two thousand years ago If as he says Jesus loves me his feelings he don't show My credit card is overdrawn and my debts to the bank grow And if Jesus really loves me he would not see me poor He would not leave me cash strapped and financially insecure At Southbank after midnight the fireworks lit the sky And thousands were looking skywards and whooping loud with joy And balloons were bursting and sparklers sparkling and neon lights did shine And on the stage Vanetta Fields was singing 'Auld Lang Syne'. And a bloke in his twenties wished me a happy New Year But when he said that Jesus loves you i did not pretend to hear For how could he or anyone ever profess to know The thoughts of one who lived on Earth two thousand years ago? .
