Theme

A Genesis masterpiece of satire from 1991, 'Jesus He Knows Me' is a scathing critique of hypocritical televangelists and money-hungry false prophets. Phil Collins' lyrics, once considered dated, have regained contemporary relevance in modern times. Ghost's cover amplifies the irony and theatrical judgment, transforming it into a commentary on religious hypocrisy that feels startlingly current and vital.

Lyrics
You see the face on the TV screen? Coming at you every Sunday You see the face on the billboard? That man is me On the cover of the magazine There's no question why I'm smiling Buy a piece of paradise And you buy a piece of me I'll get you everything you wanted I'll get you everything you need You don't need to believe in hereafter Just believe in me 'Cause Jesus, he knows me And he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life Oh yes, he knows me And he knows I'm right And he's been telling me everything is alright I believe in the family With my ever-loving wife beside me She doesn't know about my girlfriend Or the man I met last night Do you believe in God? 'Cause that is what I'm selling And if you wanna go to heaven Well, I'll see you right You don't even have to leave your house Or get out of your chair You don't even have to touch that dial 'Cause I'm everywhere 'Cause Jesus, he knows me And he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life Oh yes, he knows me And he knows I'm right And he's been telling me everything is alright Won't find me practicing what I'm preaching Won't find me making no sacrifice But I can get you a pocketful of miracles If you promise to be good, try to be nice God will take good care of you Just do as I say, not as I do I'm counting my blessings And I've found true happiness 'Cause I'm getting richer, day by day You can find me in the phone book Just call my toll free number You can do it any way you want Just do it right away There will be no doubt in your mind You'll believe in everything I'm saying If you wanna get closer to him Get on your knees and start praying 'Cause Jesus, he knows me And he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life Oh yes, he knows me And he knows I'm right And he's been telling me everything is alright 'Cause Jesus he knows me Jesus, he knows me Jesus, he knows me Jesus, he knows me Jesus, he knows me Jesus, he knows me Jesus, he knows me
