But Jesus

It was hard, I had fallen, and was out on my own
It was far, but You were callin’, for me to come back home
There was fear, doubt and anger, mostly of the unknown
There were tears, I was bitter, but I had to let go

I was tired of empty promises, the world threw my way
I desired peace and happiness that escaped me each day
I was broken, I was torn down, at the end of my rope
But Jesus, oh, but Jesus, gave me hope

It was bad, I was tarnished, corroded to the bone
It was sad, the sin I harnessed, through all the years I’d blown
There was lust, being heart-broken, mostly my own makin’
There were just, piercing words spoken, as my whole life was shaken

So if you ever find you’re bleeding after falling on your knees
There is one man who is meeting all your needs

And if you’re tired of empty promises, the world throws your way
If you desire the peace and happiness that escape you every day
If you’re broke, and if you’re torn down, at the end of your rope
Remember Jesus, remember Jesus, for only Jesus, only Jesus can give you hope
