Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
'Cause sunbeams are not made like me
And don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons You had to die
Don't ever ask Your love of me
[Chorus]
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to die for thee
[Verse 2]
Oh, Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
'Cause sunbeams are not made like me
And don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons You had to die
Don't ever ask Your love of me
[Chorus]
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to die for thee
[Verse 3]
Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
'Cause sunbeams are not made like me
And don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons You had to die
Don't ever ask Your love of me
[Chorus]
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to die for thee
