Jesus He Knows Me -- Genesis


You see the face on the TV screen coming at you every Sunday
see that face on the billboard that man is me On the cover of the magazine there's no question why I'm smiling
you buy a piece of paradise you get a piece of me
I'll get you everything you wanted I'll get you everything you need
don't need to believe in hereafter just believe in me

Cos Jesus he knows me and he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life oh yes he knows me
and he knows I'm right and he's been telling me everything is alright
I believe in the family with my ever loving wife beside me
but she don't know about my girlfriend or the man I met last night
Do you believe in God cos that's what I'm selling
and if you wanna get to heaven I'll see you right
You won't even have to leave your house or get out of your chair
you don't even have to touch that dial cos I'm everywhere

And Jesus he knows me and he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life oh yes he knows me and he knows I'm right well he's been telling me everything's gonna be alright
Won't find me practising what I'm preaching won't find me making no sacrifice but I can get you a pocketful of miracles if you promise to be good, try to be nice God will take good care of you
just do as I say, don't do as I do

I'm counting my blessings, I've found true happiness
cos I'm getting richer, day by day you can find me in the phone book,
just call my toll free number you can do it anyway you want
just do it right away There'll be no doubt in your mind
you'll believe everything I'm saying if you wanna get closer to him
get on your knees and start paying  Cos Jesus he knows me
and he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life
oh yes he knows me and he knows I'm right well he's been telling me
everything's gonna be alright, alright  Jesus he knows me

 The song is a satire about televangelism, released in a period when several televangelists such as Robert Tilton, Jim Bakker, Larry Lea and Benny Hinn were under investigation for promising financial success to their listeners, provided they sent money to them.     (wikipedia)
