Go ahead and talk about him because he makes you doubt
Because he has denied himself the things that you can t live without.
Laugh at him behind his back just like the others do
Remind him of what he used to be when he comes walkin through.
He s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You ve got a heart of stone
Stop your conversation when he passes on the street
Hope he falls upon himselfohwon t that be sweet
Because he can t be exploited by superstition anymore
Because he can t be bribed or bought by the things that you adore.
He s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You ve got a heart of stone
When the whip that s keeping you in line doesn t make him jump
Say he s hard-of-hearin say that he s a chump.
Say he s out of step with reality as you try to test his nerve
Because he doesn t pay no tribute to the king that you serve.
He s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You ve got a heart of stone
Say that he s a loser cause he got no common sense
Because he don t increase his worth at someone else s expense.
Because he s not afraid of trying cause he don t look at you and smile
Cause he doesn t tell you jokes or fairy talessay he s got no style.
He s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You ve got a heart of stone
You can laugh at salvationyou can play Olympic games
You think that when you rest at last you ll go back from where you came.
But you ve picked up quite a story and you ve changed since the womb.
What happened to the real youyou ve been captured but by whom?
He s the property of Jesus
Resent him to the bone
You got something better
You ve got a heart of stone
