See the Sunday morning wino slowly shufflin' down the street
The only God he knows clutched in his hand
And heaven's just a drink from his bottle
And Jesus Christ to him is just another man
Yet Jesus is the only one that loves us
And He'll forgive us when we sin
Jesus is the only one that loves us
Even when we think we haven't got a friend

In cheap hotel room somewhere in Chicago
A cheatin' husband takes his neighbor's wife
Lord, that's not the way he did it in Korea
Still it's just another way of takin' someone's life
Around the corner in a cement city alley
Hidin' from the cold Chicago wind
While the Salvation Army band was playin'
A junky rolls his sleeves up and lets his Saviour in
Yes, Jesus is the only one that loves us
He'll forgive us when we sin
Jesus is the only one that loves us
Even when we think we haven't got a friend
Yes, Jesus is the only one that loves us
He'll forgive us when we sin
