That's Why Jesus Came
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In my desire for righteousness
I turned my heart into a fortress
Built higher walls with no drawbridge
I grabbed my sword and I clenched my fists
Oh fear divides and separates
And as wisdom often masquerades
But Jesus comes and violates
Every kingdom built to isolate
I thought my whole life
There was just a pull from one side
A dark attempt to see me compromise
Then religion told me to be holy
With a burden on my shoulders
Though meaning well still gave me hell
And I realized just the same
The roads are wide on both sides
But that's why Jesus came
I'm gonna walk this line straight through time
Holdin' fast to Jesus Christ
As bombs go off on my left and right
I'm gonna walk this line till I see the light
I thought my whole life
There was just a pull from one side
A dark attempt to see me compromise
And then religion told me to be holy
With a burden on my shoulders
Though meaning well still gave me hell
And I realized just the same
The roads are wide on both sides
But that's why Jesus came
His yoke is easy, His burden doesn't crush me
His hand is always steady and so I'll let Him lead
The blind guide blindly but I see the best when trusting
His hand is always steady, so I'll let Him lead
His yoke is easy and His burden doesn't crush me
His hand is always steady, so I'll let Him lead
The blind guide blindly but I see the best when trusting
His hand is always steady, so I'll let Him lead
Thought my whole life
There was just a pull from one side
A dark attempt to see me compromise
Then religion told me to be holy
With a burden on my shoulders
Though meaning well still gave me hell
And I realized just the same
The roads are wide on both sides
But that's why Jesus came
I'm gonna walk this line straight through time
Holdin' fast to Jesus Christ
As bombs go off on my left and right
I'm gonna walk this line till I see the light
