[Verse 1]
Jesus shaves, joins corporate America
Gets laid off, grows his beard back
Stays up late, sees a TV commercial
'Bout being a welder, makes a phone call

[Verse 2]
Jesus shaves, goes on an interview
Does real well, he’s got a way with people
Two years on still an apprentice
Not for long, it’s graduation

[Verse 3]
Jesus shaves, puts his best suit on
Gets a certificate, makes it official
Now he’s a welder, wears a big helmet
Twice a week now Jesus shavеs

[Chorus]
Blessed are thе ones who make peace
Blessed are the ones who scrape by
Blessed are the ones living holy lives
And here’s to the rest of us who try

[Verse 4]
Jesus shaves on Sunday morning
Decides to go fishing after going to church
It’s wintertime, so he walks on water
Digs a hole in the ice and fishes for perch
[Verse 5]
Jesus shaves the scales off the fishes
Has a few fillets and a couple of brewskies
Thinks about the girl, Magdalena, in payroll
Decides that he’s gonna ask her out for dinner

[Verse 6]
Jesus shaves for work on Monday
Goes to the office, gathers his courage
He’s still not sure just how he’s gonna ask her
Walks over to her desk and sees a picture of her boyfriend

[Chorus]
Blessed are the ones who make peace
Blessed are the ones who scrape by
Blessed are the ones living holy lives
Here’s to the rest of us who try

[Verse 7]
She says hello, how are you this morning?
He asks if she knows if it’ll snow or rain
She notices him looking at the picture on her desktop
She says it’s her cousin who passed away

[Verse 8]
He says that’s great, she looks at him funny
He says I didn’t mean that, she says it’s okay
And then she smiles and they both start laughing
That’s when he knows it’s his lucky day
[Verse 9]
Jesus shaves, smiling in the mirror
Magdalena is saying that they gotta hurry
They’ll be late for work and the school bus is coming
But their daughter likes watching as Jesus shaves

[Chorus]
Blessed are the ones who make peace
Blessed are the ones who scrape by
Blessed are the ones living holy lives
Here’s to the rest of us who try
Here's to the rest of us who try
