Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Jesus is waiting

If you're broken down

Jesus is waiting, oh yeah

Don't let yourself down

[Chorus]

He standing right there behind you

Helping you to make up your mind

Jesus is waiting, oh

Do I have to say it again? (Say it again)

Jesus is waiting, hey

[Verse 2]

Talking about, you've got a friend

Reach down in your heart and say

A little prayer just for me

He's the one that believes in love

Can't you see

[Chorus]

Hey

Just sayin'

Jesus is waiting

Love is the only salvation

Understand me

Jesus is waiting

Love is only medication

Understand me

[Bridge]

Help me, help me

Help me, help me

Help me, help me

Help me, help me

Help me, help me

Help me, help me

Help me

[Verse 3]

I want you to help me

And I'll help you

Save my soul

I'll save some for you

I'll do my best

Do what I can to

Stand up and be a man

I say, hey

[Chorus]

I just want everybody to

Everybody to know that

Jesus is waiting

Jesus is waiting

Jesus is waiting

Jesus is waiting

Jesus is waiting

[Chorus]

I wish the band would just bring it

Bring it

[Verse 4]

I remember that I had to

Say that I have been a, I have been a fool

Disregarding your love

I wanna say this evening

That I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry

Sorry, sorry, hey

But I tell

You've been good to me

You've been good to me

[Bridge]

You've been good to me

Thank you, thank you

Thank you, thank you

Thank you, thank you

Thank you, thank you

Thank you, thank you

Thank you, thank you

Thank you, thank you

Thank you, thank you

Thank you, thank you

[Verse 5]

Come on in, I might have a new problem, you could

Smile for me, hey

That's why I just wanted everybody to know that

[Chorus]

Jesus is waiting

Jesus is waiting

Jesus is waiting

Jesus is waiting

Jesus is waiting

Jesus is waiting

[Outro]

Yeah, yeah

Oh, my, my

Come a long way, Jesus

Oh, my, my
