"The Jesus I Know" lyrics

"The Jesus I Know"

Do You ever feel misunderstood
When You look at what this thing's become?
How does something that sides with the least
Be the things that excludes them the most?

And I'm not tryna put words in Your mouth
'Cause I fear that's where we got it wrong
But sometimes the Jesus I see
Seems so far from the Jesus I know

And just like these people I blame
Have I made You something You're not?
'Cause I live off the good of Your name
And in some ways I profit the Cross

And I'm scared if You walked in this church
You might flip all the tables and go
So would that same Jesus love all my merch?
Or is that just the Jesus I know?

And I've tried with the best of my words
To be true to who You really are
But I wonder how far I fell short
Do You recognize Yourself in my songs?

'Cause all that I want is the truth
And I hope my theology's close
But who could summarize infiniteness?
To think I know only proves that I don't
A mystery I'll never quite get
That's the Jesus I know
