Jesus He Loves Me and He Knows I'm Right

I was doing some thing very old fashioned. I'm having a telephone call with one of the other authors.

He was describing the viral effect in today's wired world about a girl with a Christian blog, and having to turn off comments due to too much religious debate.

Immediately, I heard Phil Collins telling me "Jesus he loves me, and he knows I'm right..."

It also reminded me to check our settings to make sure folks can comment.

Jesus He Knows Me

Do you see the face on the TV screen
Coming at you every Sunday
See the face on the billboard
That man is me

On the cover of the magazine
There's no question why I'm smiling
You buy a piece of paradise
You get a piece of me

I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
Don't need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me

Cos Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me

And he knows I'm right
And he's been telling me
Everything is alright

I believe in the family
With my ever loving wife beside me
But she don't know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night

Do you believe in God
Cos that is what I'm selling
And if you wanna go to heaven
I'll see you right

You won't even have to leave your house
Or get out of your chair
You don't even have to touch that dial
Cos I'm everywhere

And Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right
And he's been telling me
Everything is alright

You won't find me practising what I'm preaching
Won't find me making no sacrifice
But I get you a pocketful of miracles
If you promise to be good, try to be nice

God will take good care of you
Just do as I say, don't do as I do
I'm counting my blessings

I've found true happiness
Cos I'm getting richer, day by day
You can find me in the phone book
Just call my toll free number

You can do it anyway you want
Just do it right away
There'll be no doubt in your mind
You'll believe everything I'm saying

If wanna get closer to him
Get on your knees and start praying
Cos Jesus he knows me
And he knows I'm right

I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I'm right

And he's been telling me

Everything is alright
