Meet Jesus

(album: Hear That Story - 2020)

I've heard you say how can Jesus be good
When so much bad is done in his name
I must admit we can be hypocrites
And at times I have felt just the same

From the scandals to the crusades
When a church screams what God hates
It feels like more hurt than love

If you could just meet Jesus
You wouldn't find religion
You'd feel something different
Moving in your heart
If you could just meet Jesus
You couldn't help but love him
Cause he can't help but love you
Just the way you are
He'd pull you so close
He'd never let go
You won't be the same, it would change everything
If you could just meet Jesus

His fingers don't point and his love don't divide
He seeks out all the ones left behind
He stands up for justice and mercy
He loves us so much that he laid down his life

If you could just meet Jesus
You wouldn't find religion
You'd feel something different
Moving in your heart
If you could just meet Jesus
You couldn't help but love him
Cause he can't help but love you
Just the way you are
He'd pull you so close
He'd never let go
You won't be the same, it would change everything
If you could just meet Jesus
If you could just meet Jesus

From the scandals to the crusades
When a church screams what God hates
It feels like more hurt than love
But his goodness, it'll shine through
If you seek him, it'll find you
All the hatred, it'll come undone

If you could just meet Jesus
You wouldn't find religion
You'd feel something different
Moving in your heart
If you could just meet Jesus
You couldn't help but love him
Cause he can't help but love you
Just the way you are
He'd pull you so close
He'd never let go
You won't be the same, it would change everything
If you could just meet Jesus
If you could just meet Jesus
If you could just meet Jesus
