He's not sitting up in the White House, not subject to your big debate,
Keeps his hands completely off Wall Street,
Don't own stocks, bonds, or real estate,
He ain't up dropping bombs on people or working on a college degree,
He tunes out all them radio blowhards,
Can't stand the networks and religious TV.

That's Jesus in the homeless faces, with the junkies in their living hell,
That's Jesus with the drunks and in the lonely places, the rest homes, and prison cells,
That's where Jesus is,
That's where Jesus is.

He don't hug trees or kill them, or drive a particular car,
Won't help you write a big hit song,
Don't care how good looking you are,
And Jesus won't be voting,
He's not your party-crashing dog in this fight,
Not a fan rooting for your home team,
Don't insure that your future is bright.

That's Jesus in the homeless faces, with the junkies in their living hell,
That's Jesus with the drunks and in the lonely places, the rest homes, and prison cells,
That's where Jesus is: where we ought to be,
Here's where Jesus works: inside you and me,
With the folks with AIDS and the suffering kids,
That's where Jesus hangs,
That's where Jesus is.

On the corner, 'round the prostitutes, is where he'll probably show,
He gets invited to church sometimes, and sometimes he don't go.

Don't care nothing about your status, what you can or you can't afford,
Don't care if you're voted best actor, not impressed with your big award,
He's not in the five star restaurant eating a six course meal,
He's not over on some golf course discussing the oil deal.

He wants our voice, (that's where Jesus is)
That's how he talks, (that's where Jesus is)
And he wants our feet, (that's where Jesus is)
That's how he walks, (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, he wants our faith (that's where Jesus is)
But there's never enough,
He wants our hearts, (that's where Jesus is)
That's how he loves.

That's Jesus in the homeless faces, with the junkies in their living hell,
That's Jesus in the Tiananmen spaces, the rest homes, and prison cells,
That's where Jesus is: where we ought to be,
Here's where Jesus works: inside you and me,
With the folks with AIDS and the suffering kids,
That's where Jesus hangs,
That's where Jesus is.

That's where Jesus is,
Yeah, that's where Jesus is,
That's where Jesus is,
That's where Jesus is.
