  • Do you see the face on the TV screen
    Coming at you every Sunday?
    See that face on the billboard?
    Well, that man is me

    On the cover of a magazine
    There's no question why I'm smilin'
    You buy a piece of paradise
    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 tellin' me everything is alright

    I believe in the family
    With my ever lovin' wife beside me
    But she don't know about my girlfriend
    Or the man I met last night

    Do you believe in God?
    'Cause that is what I'm sellin'
    And if you want to get to heaven
    Well, I'll see you right

    You won't even have to leave your house
    Or get outta your chair
    You don't even have to touch that dial
    'Cause I'm everywhere

    And 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
    Well, He's been tellin' me everything's gonna be alright

    Won't find me practicin' what I'm preachin'
    Won't find me makin' 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
    Well, justa do as I say, don't do as I do

    Well, I'm countin' my blessings
    'Cause I've found true happiness
    'Cause I'ma getting richer, day by day
    You can find me in the phone book
    Just call my toll free number
    You can do it anyway you want
    Just do it right away

    Well, there'll be no doubt in your mind
    You'll believe everythin' I'm sayin'
    If you wanna get closer to Him
    Get on your knees and start payin'

    '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
    Well, He's been tellin' me everything's gonna be alright

    'Cause Jesus He knows me and he knows I'm right (Jesus He knows me, know)
    Ooh yes, He knows me and He knows I'm right (Jesus He knows me, know)
    I've been talkin' to Jesus all my life
    And He's been tellin' me everything's gonna be alright, alright

    Jesus He knows me, Jesus He knows me, know
    'Cause Jesus He knows me, Jesus He knows me, know
    Jesus He knows me, Jesus He knows me, know Writer/s: Anthony George Banks, Michael Rutherford, Phil Collins

  • Madenluvdesigndotcommunity from Prairie Village, Ks, UsaPhil's songs (and all songs written by anyone) are all sung in first person, speaking as Father God to all His children, or from children to Father. Encouraging them on their journey through life, to bring everyone home and none will be lost. Arise Sons and Daughters of God. Satan is nore more and has no power over you, turn your face to Jesus, call out His name, and be filled with the Holy Spirit today. This is fulfilled today in your hearing #soundspiritradio
  • Leashy from Valparaiso, InHey! Get to know song lyric facts! My brain said to me at 3:30am So here I am learning more information I have no idea what to do with. But I do believe in Jesus FTR. TV Evangelist and those that steal from the poor are awful human beings! Shame on them! Anywayzzz, that's all I have to say on that. Goodnight. Lord help me go back to sleep now Thanks! Phil & Genesis are awesome BTW
  • Chris from SomewhereI stand corrected, it was Phil's "In the Air Tonight" (drops a cow on himself)
  • Chris from SomewhereJosh, I believe the song in question is "Tonight Tonight Tonight".
  • Joshua from La Crosse, WiKenny, you must be thinking of an earlier Collins or Genesis song. The Miami Vice TV series ended two years before this song and video came out.
  • Kenny from Los Angeles, CaI do believe that after this video came out, Miami Vice producers sought Phil Collins to be in an episode or two
  • George from Calumet City, IlBrilliance as usual from Genesis.
