Lyrics

Verse 1

I heard it's hard to teach
An old dog a new trick
But I also heard a thing
Called saving grace
I may not be religious
But there's something bout
This Jesus I can’t shake

Verse 2

So many times that I have tried
To read the good book
Just to put it back up on the shelf
They say inside there's treasure
But inside it sometimes
Makes me feel like hell

Pre Chorus 1

But there's something bout this Jesus
That reminds me just a little of myself

Chorus

If Jesus can turn water into wine
Maybe He can make me sweeter
If Jesus can bring dead
Things back to life
Maybe He can save this heathen

Verse 3

If you saw me in public
You might think that I’m alright
But you ain't ever seen me
In my house
Cause I do things in secret
But they're things
That I won't ever talk about

Verse 4

But I heard about the woman
They caught with the wrong man
How they gathered rocks
To kill her in the street
Jesus made them drop their stones
By asking them if they lived perfectly

Pre Chorus 2

And if I’m just like the woman
Do you think that Jesus
Would do that for me

Chorus

If Jesus can turn water into wine
Maybe He can make me sweeter
If Jesus can bring dead
Things back to life
Maybe He can save this heathen

Verse 5

I heard You made the world
But still You look a lot like me
How could You be God
And still be man
Maybe if I talked to You
You’d listen and You’d try to understand

Pre Chorus 3

Maybe if I take this leap of faith
I could be a better man

Chorus

'Cause Jesus You turned water into wine
So come and make me sweeter
And Jesus You bring dead things
Back to life
So come and save this heathen

Verse 6

I never thought that
I would find myself in this place
I swore I’d never get down on my knees
But here I am a broken man
With my confession and apology

Pre Chorus 4

Here I am a humbled man
A heathen saying Jesus I believe
