I was told he was angry
Didn’t like the music up too loud
I was told he would save me
If I showed up to church and I shut my mouth
If I smoke, if I drank, if I cussed
I’d think I was on the long black train to hell
Yeah I thought I knew him
Till I met him for myself
But the Jesus I know now
Ain’t shaking a fist, ain’t raising a proud
Yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain’t running away from a party crowd
I found a friend
Who hangs with the misfits, less-thans,
Forgives and forgives again
Can’t believe I was missing out
On the Jesus I know now.
