Verse 1

It must have been the sweet love of Jesus shining through

When the Catholics ambushed him on the way to school.

They said "First you killed our saviour then got two days off from school."

Go back to Jerusalem, we got no use for you . . .

Yeah, we got no use for you

Chorus

And it must have been the sweet love of Jesus shining through,

Had to be his sweet love shining through.

Verse 2

It had to be the sweet love of Jesus shining through

When the Spanish missionaries brought the Indians a love so true.

They said "you don’t need your gold and riches,

Your new faith should pull you hrough.

In return you get this bible and a few diseases too,

Yeah and a few diseases too."

Bridge

You can save my poor soul from that hellish damnation

Ask where I’ll be for eternity.

You can ask me where I’ll be when the angles start singing.

Hard enough to know where I’ll be next week,

Hard enough to know where I’ll be next week.

Verse 3

Bet it was the pure love of Jesus shining through

When the pope turned his back on them, in World War II.

He said "Jesus needs the Germans more than we need you.

Go back to where you came from let your God take care of you.

Yeah, let your God take care of you."

Bridge 2

You preach that his message is love but you hate

And accuse me of making him bleed.

But your own ancestors invented that torture,

So it’s you who committed the deed,

Yeah it’s you who committed the deed.
