Jesus He Knows Me

==Music video==
The accompanying [[music video]] for "Jesus He Knows Me" features Phil Collins as an unscrupulous [[televangelist]] who uses donations from his followers to support his luxurious lifestyle. Collins has admitted that he was specifically parodying [[Ernest Angley]] in the video. According to Collins on the [[BBC]] show ''[[Room 101 (British TV series)|Room 101]],'' Angley was flattered by the parody<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JHhXgqfKL0|title=Room 101 - Phil Collins - Part 1, TV Evangelists|via=www.youtube.com}}</ref> and did not realize that his very occupation was being skewered. The opening monologue, which has been mistaken for a fictional scenario for the video clip, is based on an actual story Angley had told earlier in his career and which he recounted again in 2013.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211205/KZrZZiLpl9E Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20160314144638/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZrZZiLpl9E Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZrZZiLpl9E| title = discovery made in song 'Jesus he knows me' | website=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The comedic video also features band members Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford dressed as fellow evangelists. Collins, outfitted in an orange suit, portrays the leader of the "Oasis of Faith" television ministry and claims that the Lord wants him to raise $18 million from his viewers before the coming weekend. During the final chorus, cash rains down over the broadcast studio and stagehands collect more from the audience in baskets and wheelbarrows, meeting the goal.<ref name="vintage">{{cite episode|series=Tune In To... |title=1992|date=1 May 2015|network=[[Vintage TV (TV channel)|Vintage TV]]}}</ref> As the song fades out, Collins continues to preach before being dragged off the set by Rutherford and Banks, a reference to the ending of the video for "[[I Can't Dance]]".

Near the 1:40 mark, people can be seen holding a sign reading "Genesis 3:25,"<ref name="vintage" /> referring not to the Bible's [[Book of Genesis]] but to the fact that the band had been together for 25 years at that point and had had three members for most of its existence. The third chapter of Genesis, in reality, only has 24 verses.

In the original version of the video, the "toll-free number" referred to in the lyrics was shown as 1-555-GEN-ESIS.<ref name="vintage" />  This was covered up by a scroll bar in later edits of the video. (The [[555 (telephone number)|555]] area code actually does not prefix any known toll-free telephone numbers.)

At the [[Brit Awards]] in [[1993 Brit Awards#Winners and nominees|1993]] the video was nominated for [[Brit Award for British Video of the Year#Winners and nominees|British Video of the Year]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj36kJDF-mc|title=Shakespeare's Sister wins British Video presented by Naomi Campbell &#124; BRIT Awards 1993|via=www.youtube.com}}</ref>
