Woorden: Newsboys. In the Hands of God. My Friend Jesus.

I bought a product they should not have sold
I called the helpline, they put me on hold
I've been waiting for an hour
Now my phone's losing power and I'm gonna explode

I hear how may I help you today?
I know a very rude answer but I'm wondering, hey

What if everybody talked like my friend Jesus
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus
It would give the world a new beginning
What if this is like an early inning?

I state my business, she puts me on hold
I'm back to thinking I'm gonna explode
And the dog wants dinner
And the music they're playing is the soundtrack of hell

You say two wrongs don't make a right
Just try listening to Celine Dion all night

But if everybody talked like my friend Jesus
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus
If we want to mend world relations
Surely I can show a little patience

I've been waiting around for this world to change
Another day cut loose, another lame excuse
I've got the why and how to start here and now

Then my cellphone drops the call and I spew out vitriol
And as my fist goes through the wall
A voice says be the change you wanna see

'Cause if everybody talked like my friend Jesus
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus
What a changed world this could be

If everybody talked like my friend Jesus
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus
What a changed world this could be
Starting now maybe I can start a change in me
