Jesus Calling Lyrics
I had an itch I had to scratch
a match to make and a fish to catch
I got stung by a blue-bottle brush
I had a red-nettle rash
Cat o' nine tails upon my neck and back
I called the pot and the kettle black
But I wiped a clean slate I came clean
I'm afraid I'll have to call the whole thing off now
I'm afraid I'll have to nip you in the bud
I have Jesus
I have Jesus
I have Jesus calling me.
Blood on my thighs and milk on my knees
Sign out front says vacancies
There is a bed we can fill
But there ain't a kiss or a caress that don't make me ill
Yes it makes me ill, it's a pleasure to make me ill,
Yes it makes me ill, a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to make me ill...
I'm afraid I'll have to call the whole thing off now
I'm afraid I'll have to nip you in the bud
I have Jesus
I have Jesus
I have Jesus
He's calling me.
He's calling me
He is calling me
Only calling me
Calling me
He's calling me
He's calling me
Calling me
He's calling me
Only calling me
Calling me
Loveless love oh loveless love
Loveless love is a Godless love
I wiped a clean slate I came clean
I'm afraid I'll have to call the whole thing off now
I'm afraid I'll have to nip you in the bud
I have Jesus calling me.
I have Jesus
I have Jesus
I have Jesus calling me
I have Jesus
I have Jesus
I have Jesus calling me.
a match to make and a fish to catch

I'm afraid I'll have to nip you in the bud

This song is obviously about a guy who has to turn down a potential love interest because he's found religion. His excitement at having found Jesus, together with the backing vocals, really cracks me up.
