Lyrics
When the song is over
When the music stops
Do you know Jesus
Does He live in your heart
When your life is troubled
Jesus still wants to be a part
Do you know Jesus
Does He live in your heart
Do you believe that He was born
Do you believe that He died
Do you believe your sins can be forgiven by the blood from His side
Do you believe His love can reach you right where you are
Do you know Jesus
Does He live in your heart, oh
Do you know Jesus
Does He live in your heart
(Repeat from the top)
Confess Him with your mouth
Believe Him in your heart
Do you know Jesus
You can know Jesus in your heart
[x4]
It's so good to know Jesus
[x10]
Do you know Jesus
Does he live in your heart, oh
You can know Jesus
He can live in your heart, oh
You can know Jesus
He can live in your heart, oh
You can know Jesus
He can live in your heart, oh
You can know Jesus
He can live in your heart

Meaning & Inspiration
“Do You Know Jesus” centers on a personal confession of faith rather than a passing response to music. The repeated question asks whether Jesus lives in the heart, even after the song ends or life becomes troubled. His birth, death, love, and blood shed for forgiveness are presented as central to knowing Him. The lyric therefore moves beyond familiarity with His name toward trust in His saving work.
The call to confess Jesus with the mouth and believe in the heart clearly echoes Romans 10:9. Its language about forgiveness through His blood also corresponds with Ephesians 1:7. The closing repetitions shift from searching questions to an open invitation: Jesus can be known, and His presence can remain through trouble. By ending with the affirmation that it is good to know Jesus, the song treats faith as a living relationship marked by confession, belief, forgiveness, and abiding fellowship.
