Let me be your Jesus
I’ll lift you out of hell
Protect you from the heathen press
And the infidel
I’ll lead you to the Promised Land
Where everyone is white
And everything that’s so wrong now
Will be so very right
Let me be your Jesus
I can make wine out of water
Teach you how to command your sons
And how to love your daughter
Jesus brought you the good news
Just the same as me
Now I’m standing in the light
I’ve come to set you free
It’s all one big disaster
I know that you agree
Tell me who can fix it now
That’s right, only me
There’s no global warming
That’s just more of their lies
So love me, follow me
You’re in for a big surprise
Don’t believe what you hear
Don’t believe what you see
Just listen to your savior now
Only believe in me
For I am risen from the dead
I’ve come to be your king and queen
Let me be your Jesus
And you’ll find out exactly what I mean

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off.
felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery.
thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness

I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
