Explaining Jesus

(album: Dark In The City - 2018)

If you're gay and over 85
And you've felt for your whole life
That when God made you, He just messed up

If you've been raised a southern belle
Born and bred for show and tell
But you lie down feeling never good enough

I'm so sorry for how it's been
We're broken artists with broken pens
We paint our pride and call it truth
I'm sorry no one explained Jesus to you

If you've heard a knock on your front door
But all that you found on the porch
Was a pastor that just wanted to be right

And if you really want to pray to Him
But you're never sure He's listening
'Cause who could forgive what you did last night?

I'm so sorry for what you've heard
We're broken poets with silly words
We paint agendas and call it truth
I'm sorry no one explained Jesus to you

Oh, can't you feel Him in the room?
Oh, all He wants is you

I'm so sorry for all the wrong
We're broken singers with broken songs
We paint our pride and call it truth
I'm sorry no one explained Jesus to you

I'm sorry no one explained Jesus to you
I'm sorry no one explained Jesus to you
