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
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 Jesus
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Oh, Jesus
Oh, Jesus
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
