He came into this world for the rejects
Look into the Bible - then you need to size up the facts
Dwell upon the facts - and learn about His grace
Everything's in First Corinthians Verse 1:28
Hey, i think about the day when the world He came to save
went astray and they nailed him to a tree
How He stuck with 'em though they did that stuff
And went on just to suffer and got lumped with us all
(Hey) like the chumps, like the tramps, like the drunks
Like the punks, like the bums, like the scum like us all
We've all been really bad (Oh?) No one is really good (No?)
It's kinda sad - Christ's the laughin' stock of the neighbourhood
And you would think He'd try to prove 'em wrong
But Christ He suffered like I said, stuck up on the death cross
He said that they just made a mistake
And God should give 'em a break - we oughta praise Jesus' name
Saved us from Hell, what you want me to say?
I know why and I can't deny
He did it all for the crooked (Come on!) the hookers (Come on!)
So you can be bad lookin' and still get up to Heaven!
Still get up to Heaven! Still get up to Heaven!
Why did He save those bums? Why did He save those scum, huh?
Can't figure it out, but He said it in Matthew 21:31
and still they didn't get it
He came to treat the guys who were diseased
Cause the well don't want a doctor's help or hospitality
He had to get 'em all better
Like tax collectors, harlots and lepers and self-righteous hecklers
(Hey) like the chumps
CHORUS
I'm goin' to Romans - just so you'll read verse 3:10
Religious Pharisees - They'll tell you - They're very good
That's easier said than done
Psalm verse 53:3 - Righteous? No not one
Jesus alone - Jesus alone - Just Jesus alone
What we wanna say is humans don't obey
And I could quote the same verse in Psalm 14 verse 3
All have gone astray but you can know the way
The righteous ones are scarce here - we're all in need of grace
What's it gonna take for you to go and pray
'Cause Christ just wants to save you
and all you need is faith
CHORUS
Matthew 21:31b
Jesus said to them,"I tell you the truth,
the tax collectors and the prositutes
are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you."
