There is also this one from the irreverent Austin Lounge Lizards:

JESUS LOVES ME
(Austin Lounge Lizards)

I know you smoke, I know you drink that brew
I just can't abide a sinner like you
You know, God can't either, that's why I know it to be true that
Jesus loves me - but he can't stand you

I'm going straight to heaven, boys, when I die
'Cause I've crossed every 't' and I've dotted every 'i'
My preacher tells me that I'm God's kind of guy; that's why
Jesus loves me - but you're gonna fry

God loves all his children, by gum
That don't mean he won't incinerate some
Can't you feel those hot flames licking you
Woo woo woo

I'm raising my kids in a righteous way
So don't you be bringing your kids over to my house to play
Yours'll grow up stoned, left-leaning, and gay - I know
Jesus told me on the phone today

Jesus loves me, this I know
And he told me where you're gonna go
There's lots of room for your kind down below
Whoa whoa whoa

Jesus loves me, he loves me real good, I know he does
He called me up on the phone today and told me how much he loves me
Said, son, I love you
He speaks English pretty well, considering it's a second language for him
You can talk to him too, you know, I got a 900 number in Tulsa
You can call him at - I do it all the time
He'll be glad to hear from you, I talk to him every day
Jesus loves me – but he can't stand you

You can find a live version on Youtube: ALLizards
The final rap in the video differs somewhat from the transcription above that I made from a CD.
