Couplet 1

You broke through a thousand fences
Been rescued from a thousand ditches
You still swear you don’t fit in
So you kick and scream
And you’re gone again
Wandering off into the devil's wind

Refrain 1

But how’s it going out there
Acting like you ain’t scared
How’s that heart of stone
Ain’t so hard when you’re alone
Crying tears you hope nobody sees
Guess the Good News is
He’ll never leave you be
Jesus loves you black sheep

Couplet 2

You hate everything about you
You think we’re better off without you
You wear your pain out on your sleeve
And you paint it on in rebel ink
But the alcohol and pills
Ain’t fixed a thing

Refrain 1

But how’s it going out there
Acting like you ain’t scared
How’s that heart of stone
Ain’t so hard when you’re alone
Crying tears you hope nobody sees
Guess the Good News is
He’ll never leave you be
Jesus loves you black sheep

Boucle

Jesus loves you black sheep

Couplet 3

Can’t tell you when
I ain’t no prophet
But there’ll come a point in time
When you can’t stop it
The Good Shepherd's love
Smells like smoke
There ain’t no hell so low
Where He won’t let
The hounds of Heaven go
Sic ‘em let the hounds of Heaven go

Refrain 2

But how’s it going out there
Acting like you ain’t scared
How’s that heart of stone
Ain’t so hard when you’re alone
Crying tears you hope nobody sees
Guess the Good News is
He’ll never leave you be
And amazing grace
Is a pesky pesky thing
But the Good News is
He’ll never leave you be
Jesus loves you black sheep

Boucle

Jesus loves you black sheep
