Heathen Jordan Merritt / The Band Tabl ... The Band Table - Digital Album
Verse 1
I heard it's hard to teach an old dog a new trick
But I also heard a thing called saving grace.
I may not be religious
But there's something bout this Jesus I can’t shake.

Verse 2
So many times that I have tried to read the good book
Just to put it back up on the shelf.
They say inside there's treasure
But inside it sometimes makes me feel like Hell.
But there's something bout this Jesus
That reminds me just a little of myself.

Chorus
If Jesus can turn water into wine
Maybe He can make me sweeter?
If Jesus can bring dead things back to life
Maybe He can save this heathen?

Verse 3
If you saw me in public you might think that I’m alright
But you ain't ever seen me in my house.
Cause I do things in secret
But they're things that I won't ever talk about.

Verse 4
But I heard about the woman they caught with the wrong man
How they gathered rocks to kill her in the street.
Jesus made them drop their stones
By asking them if they lived perfectly
And if I’m just like the woman
Do you think that Jesus would do that for me?

Verse 5
I heard You made the world but still You look a lot like me.
How could You be God and still be man?
Maybe if I talked to You
You’d listen and You’d try to understand?
Maybe if I take this leap of faith
I could be a better man?

Verse 6
I never thought that I would find myself in this place.
I swore I’d never get down on my knees.
But here I am a broken man
With my confession and apology.
Here I am a humbled man
A heathen saying Jesus I believe!
