(repeat 2nd Crowd verse 2 more times. 
 On the last time Jesus sings the lines 
 below over top of the Crowd verse.) 
 
Jesus:   Ooo, There's too many of you - don't push me 
------   Ah, There's too little of me - don't, don't crowd me 
         Umm, don't crowd me.         Ahhhh!           
         Heal yourselves!
