Jesus never sat by my side
Jesus never sat by my side.He never cared how I was feeling inside.
He left a cross of pain
Falling heavily like the rain
Cold and dead,
Struggling in my head.
Jesus never sat by my side
When my father just walked away.
When my family took me denied.
When I said to ma, stop hitting me.
He never came to see me.
Jesus never sat by my side
When somone took me to satisfy
And nobody wanted to listen to my voice.
I just cried and cried.
He was older and stronger than I...
I had no choice
I just cried.
Jesus never sat by my side
When my pain became deep inside.
He never cared for my familiar lack.
He never came back.
Why did I have to believe in you?
Why did I have to give my faith to you?
You never saw me in the crowd.
You gave bread and wine to all but me
When I was shouting loud.
Why did I have to bow to you?
I felt on my knees alone
It's what you haven't known.
Jesus never sat by my side
When I felt I had died
When I prayed and he just laughed to me
Saying i was not what you looked for outside
I am just a creation that lives inside.
