Lyrics
Do you see the face on the TV screen
Coming at you every Sunday?
See that face on the billboard?
Well, that man is me

On the cover of a magazine
There's no question why I'm smilin'
You buy a piece of paradise
You buy a piece of me

I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
You don't need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me

'Cause Jesus He knows me and He knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes, He knows me and He knows I'm right
And He's been tellin' me everything is alright

I believe in the family
With my ever lovin' wife beside me
But she don't know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night

Do you believe in God?
'Cause that is what I'm sellin'
And if you want to get to heaven
Well, I'll see you right

You won't even have to leave your house
Or get outta your chair
You don't even have to touch that dial
'Cause I'm everywhere

And Jesus He knows me and He knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes, He knows me and He knows I'm right
Well, He's been tellin' me everything's gonna be alright

Won't find me practicin' what I'm preachin'
Won't find me makin' no sacrifice
But I can get you a pocketful of miracles
If you promise to be good, try to be nice
God will take good care of you
Well, justa do as I say, don't do as I do

Well, I'm countin' my blessings
'Cause I've found true happiness
'Cause I'ma getting richer, day by day
You can find me in the phone book
Just call my toll free number
You can do it anyway you want
Just do it right away

Well, there'll be no doubt in your mind
You'll believe everythin' I'm sayin'
If you wanna get closer to Him
Get on your knees and start payin'

'Cause Jesus He knows me and He knows I'm right
I've been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes He knows me and He knows I'm right
Well, He's been tellin' me everything's gonna be alright

'Cause Jesus He knows me and he knows I'm right (Jesus He knows me, know)
Ooh yes, He knows me and He knows I'm right (Jesus He knows me, know)
I've been talkin' to Jesus all my life
And He's been tellin' me everything's gonna be alright, alright

Jesus He knows me, Jesus He knows me, know
'Cause Jesus He knows me, Jesus He knows me, know
Jesus He knows me, Jesus He knows me, know
