Letter to Jesus

[Spoken Intro]
I been wanting to say this for a long time
I'm not really into like, writing letters or anything like that though so
I figured I could just express myself to You like this
So uh here I go

[Verse 1]
Lately I been thinking heavy
How much I appreciate You
You laid Your life on the line for me
You deserve way more than a thank you
I heard they all tried to break You
Because of You now I can break through
How do You die for someone that You don't know, man I gotta repay You
I heard that You went through the pain
So I could get through the pain
Because of You I got to change
To turn to a king so now I can reign
Without You I would be insane
Without You I'd still be ashamed
Because of You I'm in a lane to get on these tracks and give 'em the flames
Just for You I stopped smoking
Just for You I stopped drinking
Just for You I stopped fornicating, I used my mind to start thinking
Everything that I say about You
They gon' hear the words that I'm speaking
Because of You I'm forgiven, it's like I can feel the blood still leaking
I'ma save the ones who resent You
I'ma save the ones being sinful
You really had saved my life, it's a slap in Your face if I don't represent You
I don't need to write this in pencil because You already erased what I been through
I now know my body a temple
Go to sleep and wake up repentful

[Chorus]
For You I'm gon' wake up everybody that's sleeping (they been sleeping)
I talk to You every day I can't wait to meet You (I can't wait)
I'm so thankful and it's for too many reasons (so many reasons)
So publicly I'm writing my letter to Jesus (I'm just writing to You)
For You I'm gon' wake up everybody that's sleeping (they been sleeping)
I talk to You every day I can't wait to meet You (I can't wait)
I'm so thankful and it's for too many reasons (so many reasons)
So publicly I'm writing my letter to Jesus (I'm writing to You)

[Verse 2]
I feel like I'm chosen because of You
You really my big brother
I'm making this music because of You
There could never be another
Thank You for sacrificing, I'm sorry for everything I put above You
Whenever I get on a song, I'ma make sure that I express how much I love You
Everything I'ma tell You
Surrender myself to You
For me You had let 'em put nails through You
Got too many letters I'ma mail to You
I'm sorry for hurting my Mom
I feel like she actually proud of me
Even though You might be proud of me
I can't help but owe You apologies
I bet You was looking up at God
Was like "I'ma do it all for Him"
Even though they was tryna kill You
You was still tryna do it all for them
I heard You said You coming back
I kinda hope You come today
I kinda hope the beat don't ever end
Because I got way too much to say
It feel good to be forgiven, just tell me what to pay
I be preparing every day 'cause I already know You on the way
I gave up all my old habits
It all changed in the same day
You really my role model
So for You I'ma live the same way

[Chorus]
For You I'm gon' wake up everybody that's sleeping (they been sleeping)
I talk to You every day I can't wait to meet You (I can't wait)
I'm so thankful and it's for too many reasons (so many reasons)
So publicly I'm writing my letter to Jesus (I'm just writing to You)
For You I'm gon' wake up everybody that's sleeping (they been sleeping)
I talk to You every day I can't wait to meet You (I can't wait)
I'm so thankful and it's for too many reasons (so many reasons)
So publicly I'm writing my letter to Jesus (I'm writing to You)

I traded in all my desires unto the Messiah
He gave me the flow
My spirit on fire, my energy higher
They call me a liar, they don't even know
That I am the promise, the one He been hidin'
'Cause I am The Light, I'm the one that He chose
They thinking they blocking me, they never stopping me
'Cause I'm protected by the Holy Ghost
The Light

For You I'm gon' wake up everybody that's sleeping
I talk to You every day I can't wait to meet You
I'm so thankful and it's for too many reasons
So publicly I'm writing my letter to Jesus

For You I'm gon' wake up everybody that's sleeping (they been sleeping)
I talk to You every day I can't wait to meet You (I can't wait)
I'm so thankful and it's for too many reasons (so many reasons)
So publicly I'm writing my letter to Jesus
