The Jesus I Know – Brandon Lake (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
I was told He was angry
And He hated the music up too loud
I was told He would save me
If I showed up to church and I shut my mouth
If I smoked, if I drank, if I cussed, I’d think
I’s on a long black train to hell, yeah
Thought I knew Him
Till I met Him for myself

[Chorus]
But the Jesus I know now
Ain’t shaking a fist, ain’t raising a brow
Yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain’t running away from a party crowd
I found a friend
Who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again
Can’t believe I was missing out
On the Jesus I know now

[Verse 2]
I’m learning He likes me
Even when I take a joke a little too far
Yeah, I’m learning He knows me, every hair on my head
Every story behind my scars

And He says who I am, and it ain’t what I do
His grace takes some getting used to
I’m learning He loves me
Yeah, the boy in a bar and the kid in a pew

[Verse 3]
Yeah, I got what I wanted
I heard my song on the radio
Let me longing and lonelier
Top of the world with an empty heart
And nowhere left to go
But back into the arms

[Chorus 2]
Of the Jesus I know now
Ain’t just a voice up there in the clouds
Yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain’t looking for trophies to make Him proud
I found a friend
Who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again
Can’t believe I was missing out
On the Jesus I know now
On the Jesus I know now
The Jesus I know now
