What Would Jesus Do?

Intro

What would Jesus do? (what would He do)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh—yeah

Verse

I watch the quick reply, the easy line that cuts and runs

We pick the comfortable truth and hide what really stung

You see the outcome first, you don't see who stayed awake

You judge the finished picture, not the hands that tried to break

Sometimes mercy's messy, sometimes love looks out of place

But He bent down to heal us with an open, bleeding grace

Pre-chorus

So pause, take a breath, put your boots on different streets

Walk a mile in someone else's shoes (walk, walk) and feel their heat

Ask the quiet question, before the answer's thrown like stone

Would you speak the same if you knew the work they'd done alone?

Chorus

WWJD? He would love, he would stay—yeah

WWJD? Reach across and not walk away—oh

WWJD? Hold the hurt, give the hand, say "I believe" (I believe)

WWJD? Love unguarded, love like He loves me

Verse

Convenience loves a surface, selfless loves the deep

Convenience counts the cost and leaves the promises to sleep

Selfless sits in suffering, picks the pieces from the floor

Selfless keeps on loving when the judgment's at the door

You might never see the story written in the dark

So don't trade mercy for the noise of someone else's mark

Pre-chorus

Think before you answer, let the gentleness be heard

God sees the intention of the heart, not just a single word (oh)

If the truth is complicated, still let kindness lead the way

Maybe it was selfless, not selfish—maybe give that grace today

Chorus

WWJD? He would love, he would stay—yeah

WWJD? Reach across and not walk away—oh

WWJD? Hold the hurt, give the hand, say "I believe" (I believe)

WWJD? Love unguarded, love like He loves me

Bridge

May God help the tongue that's quick to point, slow to heal (slow to heal)

May the eyes that see an outcome learn the truth that's real

It's not always about you (not always), it's not always what you see

There are hidden battles, quiet nights, costly bravery

So when you're tempted to decide by what is easy or what's neat

Remember mercy had a cost and still He took the street

Chorus

WWJD? He would love, he would stay—yeah

WWJD? Reach across and not walk away—oh

WWJD? Hold the hurt, give the hand, say "I believe" (I believe)

WWJD? Love unguarded, love like He loves me

Chorus

WWJD? He would love, he would stay—yeah

WWJD? Reach across and not walk away—oh

WWJD? Hold the hurt, give the hand, say "I believe" (I believe)

WWJD? Love unguarded, love like He loves me

Outro

What would Jesus do? (what would He do)

Love like He loves me... yeah, love like He loves me
