    I'm a Gordon Lightfoot fan and the only one that I'm aware of is "Sit Down Young Stranger". Part of it goes like this:

    The answer is not easy

    For souls are not reborn

    To wear the crown of peace

    You must wear the crown of thorns

    If Jesus had a reason

    I'm sure he would not tell

    They treated him so badly

    How could he wish them well

    Hope this answers it for you.

    I have most all of his recordings (he's my favorite) but I don't think there is one with Jesus in the lyrics. There is "Forgive me Lord" but I don't think that one is played much. The ones I hear in supermarkets are: If You Could Read My Mind, Rainy Day People, Carefree Highway.

    Sorry I couldn't be more help.
