Hey mama, take a look at me now
Things are going fine here in the big town
Hey mama, if you could only see
All of my friends and how they love me.
<i>Chorus:</i>
And I know you say I need Jesus
Mama can't you see I'm doing fine
And I know you say I need Jesus
But mama I ain't got the time. No, no.
Hey mama, it's been two long years
Since I have seen you - how I need you here
Hey mama, things they aren't the same
Since I last wrote you - Yea things have changed
<i>Repeat Chorus</i>
Well everything's going wrong
No, I can't take it no more <i>(repeat)</i>
I need Jesus, forgive me
Come into my life. Come into my heart.
Precious Jesus
<i>Repeat Chorus</i>
Written like letters between a mother and her lost son. In the beginning of the song, the son is alright and doesn't see a need for God in his life. As the "letters" progress, the son's attitude is changed through experiences in his life and he ends up accepting Christ. Incredible song from an incredible album.
