well, I hear about racial problems and what's wrong with the blacks and whites and reds and yellows, and the folks who turn their backs We can't rid of differences that fit us like a glove The fact remains that all the pain is caused by lack of love And I've found freedom in the love of Jesus Freedom that's good for near or far If you want freedom like you've never known it Jesus loves you just like you are Well, I hear about politicians and what's wrong in their heads They say, "if we can just replace those guys, We'll have no gripes or dreads" But when new ones get elected, seem no matter who we choose The papers still are filled with ill and the country's got the blues Well, I've found freedom in the love of Jesus Freedom that's good for near or far If you want freedom like you've never known it Jesus loves you just like you are If you want freedom like you've never known it Jesus loves you just like you are Jesus loves you just like you are
