Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam Lyrics
[Verse]
Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
'Cause sunbeams are not made like me
And don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me
[Chorus]
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to die
For thee...
Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
'Cause sunbeams are not made like me
And don't expect me to cry
For all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me
[Chorus]
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to die
For thee...
