Lyrics and translation
Original
I was told He was angry and He hated the music up too loud.
I was told He would save me if I showed up to church and I shut my mouth.
If I smoked, if I drank, if I cussed, I'd think I was on a long black train to hell.
Yeah, I thought I knew Him till I met Him for myself.
But the Jesus I know now ain't shaking a fist, ain't raising a brow.
Yeah, the Jesus I know now ain't running away from a party crowd.
I found a friend who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again.
Can't believe I was missing out on the Jesus I know now.
Mm.
I'm learning He likes me even when I take a joke a little too far.
Yeah, I'm learning He knows me, every hair on my head, every story behind my scars.
And He says who I am and it ain't what I do. His grace takes some getting used to. I'm learning He loves me.
-Yeah, the boy in the bar. -And the kid in the pew.
Yeah, the Jesus I know now ain't shaking a fist, ain't raising a brow.
Yeah, the Jesus I know now ain't running away from a party crowd.
I found a friend who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again.
Can't believe I was missing out on the Jesus I know now.
On the Jesus I know now.
The Jesus I know now.
Yeah, I got what I wanted.
Heard my song on the radio.
Left me longing and lonely.
Top of the world with an empty heart and nowhere left to go -but back into the arms- -Of the Jesus I know now.
Ain't just a voice up there in the clouds.
Yeah, the Jesus I know now ain't looking for trophies to make Him proud.
I found a friend who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again.
Can't believe I was missing out on the Jesus I know now.
On the Jesus I know now.
The Jesus I know now.
