The Jesus I Know

By Benjamin William Hastings

Lyrics

Do you ever feel misunderstood

When You look at what this thing’s become

How does something that sides with the least 

Be the thing that excludes them the most 

And I’m not trying to put words in Your mouth

Cause I fear that’s where we got it wrong

But sometimes the Jesus I see 

Seems so far from the Jesus I know


And just like these people I blame

Have I made You something You’re not?

Cause I live off the good of Your name

And in some ways I profit the cross

And I’m scared if You walked in this church

You might flip all the tables and go

So would that same Jesus love all my merch 

Or is that just the Jesus I know?


And I’ve tried with the best of my words

To be true to who You really are

But I wonder how far I fell short

Do you recognize Yourself in my songs

Cause all that I want is the truth 

And I hope my theology’s close 

But who could summarize Infiniteness 

To think I ‘know’ only proves that I don’t 

A mystery I’ll never quite get 

That’s the Jesus I know
