Heathen
by The Band Table, People & Songs, Jordan Merritt

Album: The Band Table

Verse 1
I heard it's hard to teach
An old dog a new trick
But I also heard
A thing called saving grace
I may not be religious
But there's something bout
This Jesus I can't shake.

Verse 2
So many times that
I have tried to read the good book
Just to put it back up on the shelf
They say inside there's treasure
But inside it sometimes makes me feel like Hell
But there's something bout this Jesus
That reminds me just a little of myself

Chorus
If Jesus can turn water into wine
Maybe He can make me sweeter?
If Jesus can bring dead things back to life
Maybe He can save this heathen?

Verse 3
If you saw me in public
You might think that I'm alright
But you ain't ever seen me in my house
Cause I do things in secret
But they're things that I won't ever talk about

Verse 4
But I heard about the woman
They caught with the wrong man
How they gathered rocks to kill her in the street
Jesus made them drop their stones
By asking them if they lived perfectly
And if I'm just like the woman
Do you think that Jesus would do that for me?

Chorus
If Jesus can turn water into wine
Maybe He can make me sweeter?
If Jesus can bring dead things back to life
Maybe He can save this heathen?

Verse 5
I heard You made the world
But still, You look a lot like me
How could You be God and still be man?
Maybe if I talked to You
You'd listen and You'd try to understand?
Maybe if I take this leap of faith, I could be a better man?

Chorus
'Cause Jesus, You turned water into wine
So come and make me sweeter!
And Jesus, You bring dead things back to life
So come and save this heathen!

Verse 6
I never thought that I would
Find myself in this place
I swore I'd never get down on my knees
But here I am a broken man
With my confession and apology
Here I am a humbled man
A heathen, saying Jesus I believe!
