Song Meaning
This song is written as an invitation to someone else — "let me tell you 'bout my Jesus" — rather than as direct address to God, unusual for a worship song. Each verse names a specific need (weariness, shame, guilt) before answering it with a specific biblical claim: "He makes a way where there ain't no way" reflects Isaiah 43:19's "I am making a way in the wilderness," and "rises up from an empty grave" retells Luke 24:5-6's account of the resurrection. "Who can wipe away the tears from broken dreams" draws on Revelation 21:4's promise that God "will wipe away every tear." The bridge — "who would take my cross to Calvary" — echoes 1 Timothy 1:15, that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners."
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Are you past the point of weary?
Is your burden weighing heavy?
Is it all too much to carry?
Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus
Do you feel that empty feeling?
'Cause shame's done all its stealing
And you're desperate for some healing
Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus
He makes a way where there ain't no way
Rises up from an empty grave
Ain't no sinner that He can't save
Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus
His love is strong and His grace is free
And the good news is I know that He
Can do for you what He's done for me
Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus
And let my Jesus change your life
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen, amen
Who can wipe away the tears
From broken dreams and wasted years
And tell the past to disappear? Oh
Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus
And all the wrong turns that you would
Go and undo if you could
Who can work it all for your good
Let me tell you about my Jesus
He makes a way where there ain't no way
Rises up from an empty grave
Ain't no sinner that He can't save
Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus
His love is strong and His grace is free
And the good news is I know that He
Can do for you what He's done for me
Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus
And let my Jesus change your life
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen, amen
Amen
Who would take my cross to Calvary?
Pay the price for all my guilty?
Who would care that much about me?
Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus, oh
He makes a way where there ain't no way (No way)
Rises up from an empty grave
Ain't no sinner that He can't save
Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus
His love is strong and His grace is free
And the good news is I know that He
Can do for you what He's done for me
Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus
And let my Jesus change your life (Change your life)
Hallelujah (Turn it around), hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen, amen (Amen, amen, sing it loud)
Hallelujah, hallelujah (Oh, yeah)
Hallelujah (Amen, amen)
Let my Jesus change your life
