Subject: RE: Origins: Jesus Was a Teenager, Too
Hi, Sharyn. I learned this song from Marguerite Millard. I wish I knew who wrote it. Here is how I remember it:
Jesus Was a Teenager Too
Say your prayers every night, go to church every Sunday
You'll get to heaven. Not now but one day
'Cause I'm tellin' you: Jesus was a teenager too
Do all your homework, be kind to your teachers
Pay due respect to policemen and preachers
'Cause they're tellin' you: Jesus was a teenager too
Now Jesus never went to the drive-in, never spent hours on the telephone
Jesus never went steady. He spent all his time alone
So when you go to the drag strip, better drag fair
Though you can't see him, Jesus is there
Oh, yes, it is true: Jesus was a teenager too
