lyrics

You taste the rod you taste olé
You get down on your bended knees and pray
Their cold cold heart will maybe start to melt
But you do not love Jesus like I love myself

You do not love Jesus like I love myself
You only hold me pretending I'm someone else
He forgives all your whimpered cries for help
But you do not love Jesus like I love myself

You taste the rod you taste the staff
You get down on your bony knees and laugh
Your cheating heart will make me use the belt
Cause you do not love Jesus like I love myself

Let us pray

You taste the rod you taste the whip
You get down on your broken knees and drip
Your crazy heart will rape the deepest welt
Cause you do not love Jesus like I love myself

You do not love Jesus like I love myself
You only hold me pretending I'm someone else
He forgives all them shot-drenched pleas for help
But you do not love Jesus like I love myself
Well you do not love Jesus like I love myself
