She found the face of Jesus in her Pancake

At the Waffle House on the interstate

And she felt the presence of the divine



Made by a cook named Jesus

Served by a waittress named Marilou

Surely it has to be a sign



All the patrons gathered ‘round to see

She took a picture with her cellphone to give to her brother Steve

Who doesn't believe



She found the face of Jesus in her pancake

Smiling at her from a plate

And He gave her fame throughout the land



Everywhere they went they drew a crowd

She had never been so proud

A handsome cowboy from Texas asked for her hand



The reporters came and camped on her lawn

An unknown country singer went platinum when he wrote her a song

That was way too long….



She found the face of Jesus in her pancake

She would never lose her faith

He put her in a state of grace



…



Then His image began to fade

He put Him in the freezer but it was too late

And we could no longer make out the face



And all the non-believers started in on her with their hate

They called her ignorant, a fraud, and overweight

Which she couldn't debate….



She found the face of Jesus in her pancake

And He gave her instant fame

But soon we were all just moving on



They shunned her at the Wal-Mart

The handsome cowboy broke her heart

Oh how she cried when he was gone.



The reporters packed and left the next day

They found out Jesus was illegal and wanted to hear what he had to say

Before they took him away…



She found the face of Jesus in her pancake

At the Waffle House on the insterstate

But if you asked me now, I couldn't tell you her name.
