JESUS AS TOLD ME SO

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE WAS DOPE
EVEN THO I HAD A LOVELY WIFE
FOR MY MARRAGE THERE WAS NO HOPE
JESUS WHAT HAVE I DONE TO MY LIFE?

SHE STOOD THERE BY MY SIDE
LOVING ME LIKE SHE SHOULD
BUT THE SPACE BETWEEN US GREW WIDE
THE DOPE I DID ALL I COULD

BUT NOW I'V TRULY SEEN THE LIGHT
IN ALL THE BAD THINGS I'V DONE
NOW JESUS WILL MAKE ME RIGHT
AND THE DOPE BATTLE WILL BE WON

BABY I'M SO SORRY FOR SUCH A TERRIBLE PAST
AND THIS I HOPE YOU KNOW
NOW WE CAN HAVE TRUE LOVE AT LAST
BECAUSE JESUS HAS TOLD ME SO

SO IF YOU CAN BELEIVE ME TOO:
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FORGIVE
THAT'S ALL I ASK FROM YOU
AND A WONDERFULL LIVE WE SHALL LIVE
