Lyrics
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 was on a long black train to hell
Yeah, I thought I knew Him
Until I met Him for myself
But the Jesus I know now
Ain't shakin' a fist, ain't raisin' a brow
Yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain't runnin' 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
I'm learnin' He likes me
Even when I take a joke a little too far
Yeah, I'm learnin' 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 learnin' He loves me
Yeah, the boy in the bar and the kid in the pew
Yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain't shakin' a fist, ain't raisin' a brow
Yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain't runnin' 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
On the Jesus I know now
The Jesus I know now
Yeah, I got what I wanted
Heard my song on the radio
Left me longing and lonely
Top of the world with an empty heart
And nowhere left to go
But back into the arms
Of the Jesus I know now
Ain't just a voice up there in the clouds
Yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain't lookin' 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
