Lyrics
Verse 1
You left your throne, you left the heavens, and you met me here
When I was far, when I was hopeless, you drew me near
You never left, never forgot me, you never let go
You’re more than good, your love is perfect, forever I know
Pre-Chorus
Jesus it’s you, that I need, nothing else will do
The way and the truth, life in me, freedom won through you
Chorus
Jesus it’s You, You
Jesus it’s You, You
Verse 2
You restore what I have broken, you turn wrong into right
Through your death, your resurrection, you give me new life
Pre-Chorus (Repeat)
Chorus (Repeat)

You’re by my side, through trial and fire
You’re always standing there
Your hope, my sight, your love, my light
For the hardest days
Pre-Chorus
Jesus it’s you, that I need, nothing else will do
The way and the truth, life in me, freedom won through you
Chorus
Jesus it’s You, You
Jesus it’s You, You
Jesus it’s You, You
Jesus it’s You, You
Jesus it’s You

Meaning & Inspiration
Jesus It Is You is a song of devotion to Jesus as the one who comes near. The first verse speaks of leaving the throne and heavens to meet the singer in a far-off, hopeless state, drawing the singer near and never letting go. The second verse says He restores what is broken, turns wrong into right and gives new life through His death and resurrection.
The pre-chorus names Him the way, the truth and life, which is John 14:6, and speaks of freedom won, matching Galatians 5:1. The bridge says He stands by the singer through trial and fire, an image close to Isaiah 43:2, and the chorus keeps the focus with the simple repeated phrase "Jesus it's You." The left-throne imagery recalls Philippians 2:6-8. Because the words are short and the chorus repeats, the song is easy for a group to learn and sing, and its tone is humble and grateful.
