You know, I've got so many problems
And lately, I've been feelin' kinda down
I hear you're the one I should talk to
I hear you're the best healer around.
Chorus:
Doctor Jesus, Will you help me?
Make me better, make me whole
Doctor Jesus, Lord, I need you
To mend my heart, and save my soul.
There's so many out there who need you
Do you think you could work me in?
You see I'm in the worst of condition
But mostly, I just need me a friend.
Chorus:
Doctor Jesus, Will you help me?
Make me better, make me whole
Doctor Jesus, Lord, I need you
To mend my heart, and save my soul.
Doctor Jesus, Lord, Lord, I need you so
To mend my heart, and save my soul...
