Gungor - Jesus And John

 

John he was raised with a steeple over his head,
Lived in the suburbs and memorized scriptures at night before bed.
And he won a prize.
Preachers and teachers would tell him where all sinners go,
Prayed for revival but showed him a fancy carnival show.

Why's it a lie? Why's it a lie?
John saw the lies,
And he saw the steeple,
He saw all the people get it wrong.
Went off to college and came home with knowledge to spare,
Of crusades and slave trades,
And all of the blood that was spilled in God's name.
And all of the lies.

But John couldn't buy it, He just couldn't buy it again
Church was to small so he just threw it all up to chaos and chance.
And all of the lies, All of the lies.
John saw the lies, Oh, he saw the steeples,
And saw all the people get it wrong.
Jesus sees John, Jesus sees steeples.
He sees all His people get it wrong.

Trust Jesus, John.
Trust Jesus, people.
Jesus will come and save us all
Jesus sees John
Jesus sees steeples
He sees all His people get it wrong
Trust Jesus, John
Trust Jesus, people
For Jesus will come and save us all
