I Love Jesus
I really really do,
You don't have to believe me
even though I cuss a little too.
I love Jesus
with every part of my heart,
That doesn't mean I'll do things
the way you think is so smart.
I love Jesus
but I want to live my own life,
And not be put in these boxes
you think are so quite nice.
I love Jesus
but I'm not gonna believe,
All the things you tell me I have to do
when faith is all I need.
I love Jesus
even if we disagree,
That doesn't mean I'm wrong and your right
just because different perspectives we see.
I love Jesus
and don't do all the things you say,
And yet I'm loved completely
each and every single day.
I love Jesus
but I am gonna be fully me,
For I know the truth of how
unconditional love sets people free.
I love Jesus
and wanna be like him,
And make a difference in your life
by questioning your thoughts again and again.
I love Jesus
and want you to know,
You don't have to be in my life
if the way I live brings grief and strife.
I love Jesus
that doesn't mean everything I say,
Will be something you agree with
or remotely make your day.
I love Jesus
and I am happy in this fact,
That I've got a purpose to fulfill
in spite of your judgment, condemnation and attacks.
I love Jesus
and will tell you here and now,
I will continue to be bold and shine
with authenticity and love divine.
