EVERYTHING BUT JESUS

Lyrics by Peter Merz	Music by Mark E. Ellis

You won’t catch her dead in any hand-me-downs
Everything she wears is all brand new
She’s got everything!  
Oh yeah, she’s got everything!

She’s got the yacht out on the lake
With her very own crew
Diamond ring and it’s not a fake
Got a home with a view

CHORUS
She has everything she’s ever wanted
Everything but the one thing she needs the most
Everything but Jesus! 
Everything but Je-eee-sus!

Hey now, he’s the self-made-king of put-me-downs
He says when you got it, you better flaunt it
He’s  got everything!  
Oh Yeah, he’s got everything!

He cruises the streets in his Porsche
With a mean attitude
VIP’s engraved on all his doors
More than just well-to-do

CHORUS II
He has everything he’s ever wanted
Everything but the one thing he needs the most
Everything but Jesus!  
Everything but Je-eee-sus!

BRIDGE
We got the world by the tail 
But we’re losing our souls 
Shopping at Nordstrom’s and Zales 
Look out, there’s fire in the hole! 

CHORUS III
We have everything we’ve ever wanted (everything but Jesus!)
Everything but the one thing we need the most
Everything but Jesus!  
Everything but Je-eee-sus!

CODA/SPOKEN:
Oh Lord, open our eyes and help us to realize
Everything we need, is everything You are
Everything else is just a waste of time
Everything else leaves us empty and dry
Everything but Jesus!  
Everything but Jesus!
Amen…
