Verse 1

Jesus, Jesus

Been so long since we called out Your name

Healer, Savior

Just like leaves in spring

You?re a beautiful exchange

No mistake you cannot forgive

One word from You these dead dreams will live

No matter how far you?ve gone

You can always come back home

Back home to


Chorus

Jesus, Jesus

Been so long since we called out Your name

Healer, Savior

Just like leaves in spring

You?re a beautiful exchange

No mistake you cannot forgive

One word from You these dead dreams will live

No matter how far you?ve gone

You can always come back home

Back home to


Vamp

I live to be loved by You

A million forevers will do

No matter how far you?ve gone

You can always come back home

Back home to Jesus


Bridge 1

Never turn away

Never turn away never

You take me as I am knowing I can be better

I?m alive put back together

By Jesus


Bridge 2

Never turn away

Never turn away never

Even when I stray

You still send me love letters

Life just seems a bit better

With Jesus

Oooh Jesus

Oooh Jesus


Tag

Who has the power to turn darkness into light

(It?s Jesus)

Who healed our sickness

And gave sight to the blind

(Nobody but Jesus)


Who?s a miracle worker

Who changed water into wine

(We call Him Jesus)


Who took my sins y?all

And gave me new life

(Let me tell you ?bout Jesus)


Who took the nails

Carried all my chains

(Son of Man, Son of God, Jesus)


And in three days

Became the name above all names

(Can?t nobody do me like Jesus)


Nobody, nobody, nobody, no

Nobody, no, no, no

His name is Jesus
