Jesus lived in a ramshackle shack
with a fat New Orleans junkie
A charismatic cholo so
Some say he was born plain lucky
He’d cruise the streets of Juarez
In his low cut Eldorado
Divine command he had oil slick hands
A brash and bold bravado
Mother Mary said your time has come
The rivers wide
but can be fought and won
For the love of God and every man
Jesus cross the Rio Grande
Jesus fell in step with a group of
high powered Federalese
Who set him down and formed their plan
through a haze of cold Tecates
Judas said now Jeez I know
you’re prone to walk on water
But if you swim downstream
there’s a better chance
that you’ll make it across the border
Mother Mary said your time has come
For the rivers wide
but can be fought and won
For the love of God and every man
Jesus cross the Rio Grande
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers,
someone who care
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers,
someone who’s there
Feeling unknown when your all alone
Flesh and bone by the telephone
Lift up the receiver
and make you a believer
Take secondÊbest, put me to the test
Yeah, things on your chest
that you need to confess
I will deliver you know,
I’m a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Jesus made his run
on a hot and humid Friday night
But his vision was blinded
by the bright El Paso lights
Never saw the shot that struck him down
before he reached freedoms land
The faithful they’re still waiting
for the coming of their man
Mother Mary said your time has come
For the rivers wide
but can be fought and won
For the love of God and every man
Jesus cross the Rio Grande
