FOR JESUS
Avrim Max Topel/Mason Douglass

She was born for Sunday morning while I lived for Saturday night
She was led by the good Book and I couldn’t leave a good time
She begged me and pleaded to be who she needed
But naive and stubborn don’t change
And while she was prayin’ that I was worth savin’
Somebody else showed her The Way

CHORUS
She left me for Jesus             
Cuz I was no saint      
It tore me to pieces, she found who she needed
Now He's here to stay,
The last thing I heard was her quotin' The Word
Just like in church, goin’ chapter for verse
No, I still can't believe it
She left me for Jesus

She ain’t done nothing wrong, she simply moved on to something greater
While I couldn’t escape all my mistakes, the dive bars and my bad behavior
Yeah, I shoulda listened instead of just wishin’ 
Pretending that I was her Savior

CHORUS

Now I can see she was right from here in this pew
I saw the light, what a glorious view…what else could I do cuz

CHORUS
She left me for Jesus             
Cuz I was no saint      
It tore me to pieces, but I found who I needed
Now He's here to stay,
The last thing I heard was her quotin' The Word
Just like in church, goin’ chapter for verse
Now I’m a believer
She left me for Jesus

I’m a believer
She left me for Jesus

END
