I was told He was angry
And He hated 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 smoked, if I drank, if I cussed, I'd think
I was on a 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 shakin' a fist, ain't raisin' a brow
yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain't runnin' away from a party crowd
I found a friend
Who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again
Can't believe I was missin' out
On the Jesus I know now
Mm
I'm learnin' He likes me
Even when I take a joke a little too far
yeah, I'm learnin' He knows me
Every hair on my head, every story behind my scars
And He says who I am and it ain't what I do
His grace takes some gettin' used to
I'm learnin' He loves me
yeah, the boy in a bar and the kid in a pew
But the Jesus I know now
Ain't shakin' a fist, ain't raisin' a brow
yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain't runnin' away from a party crowd
I found a friend
Who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again
Can't believe I was missin' out
On the Jesus I know now
On the Jesus I know now
The Jesus I know now
yeah, I got what I wanted
I heard my song on the radio
Let me longin' and lonelier
Top of the world with an empty heart
And nowhere left to go
But back into the arms
Of the Jesus I know now
Ain't just a voice up there in the clouds
yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain't lookin' for trophies to make Him proud
I found a friend
Who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again
Can't believe I was missin' out
On the Jesus I know now
On the Jesus I know now
The Jesus I know now
