I Saw Jesus Lyrics
Now I saw Jesus in the morning in the burning bush
I saw Jesus in the afternoon too
I saw Jesus at dinner time swimming in the stew
That Jesus, he's everywhere
Jesus down by the riverbed, oh
Jesus laying down by me, oh
Jesus down by the riverbed, oh
That Jesus came into me
I saw Jesus in the afternoon too
I saw Jesus at dinner time swimming in the stew
That Jesus, he's everywhere
Jesus down by the riverbed, oh
Jesus laying down by me, oh
Jesus down by the riverbed, oh
That Jesus came into me

I think this is a critique of the religious folk that are obsessed with God. They say meaningless things like "God is everywhere". DEVO is just taking that to the most ridiculous idea (that Jesus is in a stew, and coming into (sexual penetration?) you).
It is performed almost like a hymn, so its also done in the format a traditional church song would be.
