Jesús (feat. Betsy Jo)

Jesus
I know You already know
Everything I'm going to tell you
Jesus
I know you know
Everything I'm going to confess to you

Jesus
Maybe I sound agitated
But I haven't come to blame you
Jesus
You don't have to answer me
I just need to talk to you

I, this world for which you gave yourself
Is a world that has changed, and too much
The man for whom Your blood was shed
Feels free while being enslaved

Evil has multiplied day by day
For the wicked, their cowardice is bravery
Following Your steps is quite audacious
And defending the faith is an act of rebellion

Doubting You is a sign of intelligence
Believing in You is a shame, it's ignorance
I prefer to be wise, a believer without shame
Rather than be arrogant, lost in arrogance

On the cross, you suffered until you died
Yesterday, many gave their lives to follow you
Today we don't even lose a friend for serving you
Lord, how must you feel?

Jesus, Jesus
I want to live to obey you
Jesus, Jesus
Teach me to love the world like you

Father, forgive me if in hypocrisy I have denied you
If with my silence I have been ashamed
If of Your grace and Your mercy
I have abused in those times I have failed you

Teach me to focus on the things that matter to you
To confront what others do not confront
To resemble You more, even though when I resemble You the most
Is when they tolerate me the least

Protect my missionary brothers
Who risk their lives, announcing Your plan
Have mercy on the troublemakers
Judges of Facebook and Instagram

Forgive me for not turning the other cheek
To the most famous movie platform
For returning the slap in response to mockery
And responding to those ridiculous excuses

I thought someone had to take charge
That Your children had to manifest themselves
I forgot that no one can mock You
That every knee will bow before You

Jesus, Jesus
I want to live to obey you
Jesus, Jesus
Teach me to love the world like you

We have allowed the concept of Your kingdom
To be reduced to culture and religion
That's why being faithful to You today
Is almost always a reason for discussion

We can no longer speak honestly
Without creating a hostile environment
This generation is easily offended
Feelings matter more than truth

Because truth is no longer truth, everything is relative
That no one is right is more progressive
Less conflict, more inclusive
Less conviction equals passive Christianity

Lord, before we become like that fig tree
Spit in the mud again and remove our blindness
Remove our deafness
And teach us to love the world, but in Your way

Jesus, Jesus
I want to live to obey you
Jesus, Jesus
Teach me to love the world like you

Jesus, Jesus
Teach me to love the world like you, yeah
Jesus, Jesus
Teach me to love the world like you, yeah
