From 'The Parousia'.

lyrics

I Believe in Jesus (Not You)

She said, “Come back to mine
We’ll have a good time
You can meet all my friends
They’ll help you make amends

Cos you’re getting it wrong
You need somebody strong
We can show you the way
Just give your life to Christ today.”

But I said, “I’m already a Christian
So take a good look inside
So caught up in your mission
Can’t see your spiritual pride.

You’re sitting in judgement
You condemn in His name
Selecting quotes from The Bible
You make me ashamed.

You say I’m not saved
For my soul you will pray
I must be born again
If I’m to make him my friend

But I’m baptised in the church
I’m confirmed in my work
I love God just like you
Just like the Muslims and the Jews.”

And I said, “I’m already a Christian
But only God knows the Truth
And he will rescue his people
In ways we don’t choose

You preach to Catholic countries
Don’t you know they’re Christians, too
Teaching hell and damnation
If they don’t sign up with you

I believe in Jesus (not you)
I believe in Jesus (not you)
I believe in Jesus (not you)
I believe in Jesus Christ (not you).”
