Jesus was a teenager, too.
Beneath the long hair and pimples, King of the Jews.

A lonely teenage savior no one could understand.
Awkward on the outside, but inside a wise young man.
Yeah, Jesus was a teenager, too.


It's tough being a parent.
It's hard being Mom and Dad.
It's hard being a parent, you wonder why kids do the things they do.
Well, I said it before and I'll say it some more, remember,
Jesus was a teenager, too.

Mary wondered if he'd be okay,
But he turned out to be a super nice guy in every way.
He did, yeah.

It's hard being a parent.
It's the toughest job you'll ever do, and it's the most rewarding, too.
Remember how they used to spit up on you?
Don't worry this will pass, too.
Yeah, it's hard being a parent.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Type of catchy phrase I would have expected from Larry Norman, or Keith Green, Peter Gabrial, Randy Stonehill.
