Jonny Diaz's song "Meet Jesus" addresses the disconnect between the hurt caused by religious hypocrisy and the true nature of Jesus. He acknowledges the scandals and judgmental attitudes that can make people question God's goodness, but he insists that encountering Jesus personally would reveal a different reality—one of unconditional love, acceptance, and transformation. The song emphasizes that Jesus doesn't point fingers or divide but seeks out the marginalized and demonstrates justice and mercy, ultimately laying down his life out of love. Diaz encourages listeners to look beyond religious institutions and experience Jesus directly, suggesting that such an encounter would change everything.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I've heard you say how can Jesus be good
When so much bad is done in his name
I must admit we can be hypocrites
And at times I have felt just the same
From the scandals to the crusades
When a church screams what God hates
It feels like more hurt than love
If you could just meet Jesus
You wouldn't find religion
You'd feel something different
Moving in your heart
If you could just meet Jesus
You couldn't help but love him
Cause he can't help but love you
Just the way you are
He'd pull you so close
He'd never let go
You won't be the same, it would change everything
If you could just meet Jesus
His fingers don't point and his love don't divide
He seeks out all the ones left behind
He stands up for justice and mercy
He loves us so much that he laid down his life
If you could just meet Jesus
You wouldn't find religion
You'd feel something different
Moving in your heart
If you could just meet Jesus
You couldn't help but love him
Cause he can't help but love you
Just the way you are
He'd pull you so close
He'd never let go
You won't be the same, it would change everything
If you could just meet Jesus
If you could just meet Jesus
From the scandals to the crusades
When a church screams what God hates
It feels like more hurt than love
But his goodness, it'll shine through
If you seek him, it'll find you
All the hatred, it'll come undone
If you could just meet Jesus
You wouldn't find religion
You'd feel something different
Moving in your heart
If you could just meet Jesus
You couldn't help but love him
Cause he can't help but love you
Just the way you are
He'd pull you so close
He'd never let go
You won't be the same, it would change everything
If you could just meet Jesus
If you could just meet Jesus
If you could just meet Jesus
