Loser
by Art Wheeler

Album: Bible Stories

I'm a loser
Lost in sin
I'm a loser
I never win
I'm a loser
I'm losin' again

I was a leper down in Galilee
A leper who was leprous as a leper can be
Jesus came to me and nine other guys
Healed our skin in the blink of an eye
Me and 8 others ran off on vacation
The other went back, said thanks and got salvation
We thought we'd won when he cleaned our skin
But the other went back and he washed away his sin

You know me, I am a Pharisee
I'm about as holy as a man can be
Jesus came around with twelve other guys
Breakin' every law right before our eyes
Healin' on the Sabbath, pickin' corn too
Eatin' with all kinds of folks, some not even Jews
Tax collectors, prostitutes, the weird and the odd
But worst of all he claims to be the son of God
We took care of him; we showed him who's boss
When we nailed that Jesus up on that cross
When we sealed him in a tomb, we thought we had a win
But three days later he rose again

Here I am, I'm a modern man
I go to church whenever I can
Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night too
I even go on Saturday just to see what they do
I give lots of money, I'm on every committee
I sing in the choir although I don't sing too pretty
But here's my secret that I think you should know
I've got hatred for my brother that I can't let go
Hatred for my brother that I can't let go
Hatred for my brother that I won't let go
I won't let go
I can't let go
I hold on to.
