But I won't let   Jesus find,              find me


   C5
I walk, I eat, I sleep

In these streets I may be found
  F5
Alive or dead or just reborn
C5
One day before Easter comes
       G5               F5         C5
But I won't let Jesus find, find me


Bb5             C5
  Jesus knows     what I've done
   F5
I won't let him lift me up
   Ab5
Before I can turn to look for him
   Bb[2]
Before I can turn to look for him
    F5           Bb[2]       C5
If Jesus comes around     again


       C5
I'll cry, I'll cry, I'll cry for help

I'll let you be the one
     F5
To try to redeem the sins of man
  C5
One day before Easter comes
       G5               F5         C5
But I won't let Jesus find, find me


           C5
I'm gonna hide,     hide from him

Hide myself but not the sin

           C5
I'm gonna hide,     hide from him

Hide myself but no the sin
    F5           G5         C5
If Jesus comes around    again

              F5
I've got the rock, the needle
     G5                  C5
The bottle of sorrow
     F5        G5           C5
And Jesus,  Jesus, Jesus knows
