Song | Jesus Are You Real |
Artist | Mason Jennings |
Album | Boneclouds |
Jesus, are you real? | |
Did we make you up? | |
Is salvation what you want | |
Or is faith enough? | |
Do you know where | |
I’m bound? | |
Do you know who | |
I am?Are you just a word | |
I useWhen | |
I don’t understand? | |
Standing like a statue in the sea | |
In a little truck stop in | |
TennesseeAnd bombs are crashing down in waves | |
On a giant | |
TV screenAnd | |
I am struck | |
I cannot move to make it stop | |
What can I do? | |
People are dying in their beds | |
While this flag flies over our heads | |
Jesus, are you stronger than a loaded gun? | |
I’m beginning to believe you’re not the only one | |
Strong enough to show your love, strong enough to give | |
Strong enough to go through hell, strong enough to live | |
And all night long | |
I sat with you | |
In a darkened hospital room | |
And nurses checked in by the hour | |
I was made aware of a higher power | |
And how this fragile life we live | |
Is not ours to keep but ours to give | |
What in the world am | |
I gonna do | |
If anything should happen to you? | |
All I do is doubt you, | |
GodAll is do is love you, | |
GodAll I do is question you | |
What else can | |
I do?This world was never solid ground | |
The past is coming back around | |
All I do is search for you | |
What else can | |
I do?And when | |
I say I search for you | |
I mean I search for peace | |
I search for hope, | |
I search for love | |
And one day for release | |
Jesus, my life does not feel the same | |
New things happen everyday, things | |
I can’t explain | |
But I am not a man of faith, | |
I’m a man of truth | |
But is this feeling in my heart, is this feeling proof? | |
When you do not know, you know | |
And when you know, you do not know | |
And when you think you do, you die | |
And when you do not think, you grow | |
Are we left here in the dark | |
Or are we left here in the light? | |
It seems to me that both are true | |
And it’s up to us to know what’s right | |
All I do is doubt you, | |
GodAll is do is love you, | |
GodAll I do is question you | |
What else can | |
I do?This world was never solid ground | |
Religion cannot help me now | |
All I do is search for you | |
What else can | |
I do?And when | |
I say I search for you | |
I mean I search for peace | |
I search for hope, | |
I search for love | |
And one day for release | |
God give me strength to accept the things | |
That I just cannot know | |
And even when | |
I lose control | |
I will not let you go |
Jesus, are you real? | |
Did we make you up? | |
Is salvation what you want | |
Or is faith enough? | |
Do you know where | |
I' m bound? | |
Do you know who | |
I am? Are you just a word | |
