Jesus Would Have Loved El Paso

You know the Rio’s a lot like the Jordan,
It’s muddy and it aint too wide,
And I guess it’s a kind of salvation,
When you make it to the other side,
And the moneychangers there in the temple,
Think the dollar makes the world go ’round,
But Jesus would have loved El Paso,
It’s a lot like His home town,

Yes, Jesus would have loved El Paso,
He’d have figured it’s a lot like home,
With its high places and open spaces,
He could talk to His Father alone,
And it’s got its share of Pharisees,
And people that’ll shout you down,
Yes, Jesus would have loved El Paso,
It’s a lot like His home town,

And I could stumble around like the best of men,
Praying, “Show me the way to Jerusalem”,
But The Good Lord knows when He calls again,
He’ll find me… in El Paso,

And Jesus would have loved El Paso,
Why, there’s sinners here on every side,
And you know how He felt about sinners,
We’re the reason that He lived and died,
And Glory Be! What a day we’ll see,
When the lost sheep are finally found,
Jesus would have loved El Paso,
It’s a lot like His home town,

… Yes Jesus would have loved El Paso,
… It’s a lot like His home town.
