Shot Down
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.
I've been shot down, talked about
Some people scandalize my name
But here I am, talkin' 'bout Jesus just the same
I've been knocked down, kicked around
But like a moth drawn to the flame
Here I am, talkin' 'bout Jesus just the same
I've been rebuked for the things I've said
For the songs I've written and the life I've led
They say they don't understand me, well I'm not surprised
Because you can't see nothing when you close your eyes
They say I'm sinful, backslidden
That I have left to follow fame
But here I am, talkin' 'bout Jesus just the same
You wanna talk about my life, hey listen to me
You got your facts all backwards, one two three
Spreading rumors and gossip is a real bad game
The only name to spread is Jesus' name
I've been knocked down, kicked around
But like a moth drawn to the flame
Here I am, talkin' 'bout Jesus brother
Here I am, talkin' 'bout Jesus sister
Here I am, talkin' 'bout Jesus just the same
