Hey Jude

~Apologies to Paul McCartney

 

Hey Jude, don’t leave her burning
Save a lost soul out of the fire
Remember, hate the garment spotted with sin
Then you’ll begin to make it better

Hey Jude, build up your faith
You were made to go out and get her
In God’s love and in the Spirit pray
Then you can say it can be better

And any time you feel hope’s gone, hey Jude, keep on
The weight of the world is on his shoulders
For well you know he’ll keep you all so you won’t fall
So go out and be a little bolder
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Hey Jude, don’t let them down
You have found her, now go and get her
In God’s love and in the Spirit pray
Then you can say it can be better

So pull her out save her from sin, hey Jude, begin
There’s love and mercy to convince with
And don’t you know that it’s just you, hey Jude, you’ll do
Love is multiplied upon your shoulder
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah yeah

Hey Jude, don’t leave her burning
Save a lost soul out of the fire
Remember, hate the garment spotted with sin
Then you’ll begin to make it better
Better better better better better better, oh

Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah, hey Jude
