Killin' ourselves faster than fast   Livin' in the future, livin' in the past   I haven't always been in Christ   I know what you're goin' through, man      A couple of years ago I was just like you   Lookin' for answers, but lookin' to myself   Thinkin' that Christians just love Jesus for their health      But I didn't know about Jesus   I didn't know about Jesus      I tried to be like God but when I tried I failed   And every time I fail and fail   I know I rail a nail straight into the cross of Jesus   Straight into the wrist of Jesus      And now it's 1996, a hard year to be a godly man   It seems the more I speak the word   The less they understand      You gotta know about Jesus   You gotta know about Jesus      I tried to be like God but when I tried I failed   And every time I fail and fail   I know I rail a nail straight into the cross of Jesus   Straight into the wrist of Jesus      And now it's 1996, a hard year to be a godly man   It seems the more I speak the word   The less they understand      But you gotta know about Jesus   You gotta know about Jesus      And now I know about Jesus   And now I know about Jesus
