Jesus Is Real

Verse

I’m staring at the ceiling, wondering if You’re there

Or if I’m just tossing whispers into empty morning air

I want to believe, but how can I believe?

When the world is screaming loud and it’s getting hard to breathe

I’ve seen the dusty Bibles sitting lonely on the shelf

While I’m looking for a Savior in the image of myself.

Verse

Then I look at the Hill, I look at the Tree

I see the Hammer and the Nails that were meant for me

How can I believe? Just look at the Blood

That washed away the canyon in a crimson flood

It wasn't just a story, it wasn't just a myth

It’s the Splinters in His back and the Spirit that He’s with

He took the Crown of Thorns and He wore it like a King

So the broken and the blind could finally start to sing.

Chorus

He ain’t a ghost in the rafters, He ain’t a story in a book

He’s the one who left the ninety-nine to give a second look

He’s the Lion from the Tribe of Judah, He’s the Lamb who took the fall

He’s the Word that spoke the starlight and He’s dwelling with us all

I’ve seen the evidence, the Spirit’s got the seal

Open up your eyes, 'cause Jesus is real.

Bridge

Three nails held Him there! (But they couldn't keep Him down!)

One cross changed the world! (Now He wears the crown!)

The Tomb is wide open! The Stone is rolled away!

And He’s walking in the garden at the breaking of the day!

Chorus

He’s the steady hand that catches every time I start to fall

He’s the breath inside my lungs, He’s the blood inside my veins

The only power strong enough to break these heavy chains

From the Garden to the Cross, the story’s signed and sealed

Yeah, I’ve seen the Lion roar—my Jesus is real.

Outro

I want to believe...

And now I see the Wood.

I see the Scars.

Yeah, He’s real.

He’s real
