Hello Jesus

The first time I met Jesus I was nine years old
Baptized at Friendship – Dry Run Circle
They told me to put my faith in Him, do what I’m told
Just a young boy in the pews - Watch my story unfold

My momma used to sing hymns at the church we belonged to
So I just thought that Jesus lived inside of a song - oo
But God I was wrong (oo) - Didn’t know the Spirit lived within me
And I was gonna need Him evidently

‘Cause when I got older and them girls got grown
Started wearin’ shades of color on their face – rainbow
Lord help me I’m so infatuated / I wanted, but hardly dated
I promise I should’ve waited / My body was so impatient

I found a companion for my biology
Yeah her name was P-No / you can call her Pornography
And honestly I lost it / Hidden tapes in my closet
Mutilated my mind / my desire's producing offspring

Imagine the conviction, trynna be like these Christians
Realizing i’m a fraud ‘cause I’m flawed with these addictions
These missionaries don’t got issues - everybody is spotless around me
And it seems like I'm the only one who's drowning

I'm pounding the pavement with my fists - i need forgiveness
Sending up a "Hello, Jesus hope you get this.”
But I'll probably never know
I’m desperate for redemption of my soul

But then a preacher told me that Christ already did this
When he made a public spectacle of death, sin, and sickness
His love for me is endless / Couldn't escape it if i wanted to
Jesus gave His life so i can have life too

Man this is such good news, but how come I never knew?
I should’ve been paying more attention when i was in Sunday School
I spent my whole life surrounded by all these lies and these rules
That if i did enough good me and God would be cool

But it ain’t about what you do, it’s all about what He did
Jehovah gave His only kid for the sins of all His friends
Subjected Himself to death, but on the third day He would arise
So you and I could live forever / Yeah in Christ we came live

In the darkness i was lost / When Jesus came I was found
Picked the lock over my eyes, gave me the key when I was bound
If Jesus can change me, why wouldn't He change you?
Open your heart and let Him in / “Hello Jesus” make a move
Let’s move
