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
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 (ooh, ooh, ooh)
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
So, how's it going out there? Acting like you ain't scared And how's that heart of stone? It 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 (ooh, ooh, ooh) Jesus loves you black sheep (ooh, ooh, ooh)
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 Seek 'em, let the hounds of Heaven go
So 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 (ooh, ooh, ooh) Jesus loves you black sheep (ooh, ooh, ooh)
