[Verse 1]
C#
Go ahead and talk about him because he makes you doubt
C#
Because he has denied himself the things that you can’t live without
C#
Laugh at him behind his back just like the others do
C#
Remind him of what he used to be when he comes walkin’ through
[Chorus]
A#m G# F#
He’s the property of Jesus
A#m G# F#
Resent him to the bone
A#m G# F#
You got something better

[Verse 2]
C#
Stop your conversation when he passes on the street
C#
Hope he falls upon himself, oh, won’t that be sweet
C#
Because he can’t be exploited by superstition anymore
C#
Because he can’t be bribed or bought by the things that you adore
[Chorus]
A#m G# F#
He’s the property of Jesus
A#m G# F#
Resent him to the bone

[Verse 3]
C#
When the whip that’s keeping you in line doesn’t make him jump
C#
Say he’s hard-of-hearin’, say that he’s a chump
C#
Say he’s out of step with reality as you try to test his nerve
C#
Because he doesn’t pay no tribute to the king that you serve
[Chorus]
A#m G# F#
He’s the property of Jesus
A#m G# F#
Resent him to the bone

[Verse 4]
C#
Say that he’s a loser ’cause he got no common sense
C#
Because he don’t increase his worth at someone else’s expense
C#
Because he’s not afraid of trying, say he’s got no style
C#
’Cause he doesn’t tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he’s failed to make you smile
[Chorus]
A#m G# F#
He’s the property of Jesus
A#m G# F#
Resent him to the bone

[Verse 5]
C#
You can laugh at salvation, you can play Olympic games
C#
You think that when you rest at last you’ll go back from where you came
C#
But you’ve picked up quite a story and you’ve changed since the womb
C#
What happened to the real you, you’ve been captured but by whom?
[Chorus]
A#m G# F#
He’s the property of Jesus
A#m G# F#
Resent him to the bone
