two thousand years, we've been waiting for
the return of god's one child
a billion long to greet him
every time we've planned a big parade
we find our savior's empty seat
are we spurned cause he's too lazy ?
will we ever catch a glimpse ?
there's been some others who sense a faker
too much time's past...the jury rests

je-je-je-je-jesus...burned first time he came
je-je-jesus...he claimed to be no mortal man
je-je-je-je-jesus...earned eternal fame
je-je-jesus...wish he'd walk back through those portals, man
time he came, please...its been too much time

he caused some ripples in his time
was baptized...in the stream...of jordan's riverbed
then one day was crucified
but then, three days...back, he came
are we children he has quit on ?
has he tired of our ol' world ?
he immune to communication ?
is he aware of what we're going through ?

je-je-je-je-jesus...turned his back, its plain
je-je-jesus...some tell us to wise up, snap out of it
je-je-je-je-jesus...surely, he will reign
je-je-jesus...we've stuck out all of our necks a bit
time he came, please...its been too much time

his divination...is escaping me
ah jesus...i'm aching
the pace is miniscule

je-je-je-je-jesus...rose from where he lay
je-je-jesus...so say those holy rollers
je-je-je-je-jesus...said he'd come one day
je-je-jesus...pretty soon, now ?...or is it the cold shoulder ?
time he came, please...its been too much time

i said, its time he came, please
its been too much time
