[Verse 1]
In my desire
For righteousness
I turned my heart into a fortress
Built higher walls
With no drawbridge
I grabbed my sword and I clenched my fist
[Verse 2]
Oh, fear divides (Mm-mm)
And separates (Mm-mm)
And as wisdom often masquerades
But Jesus comes (Mm-mm)
And violates (Mm-mm)
Every kingdom built to isolate
[Chorus]
I thought my whole life there was just a pull from one side
A dark attempt to see me compromise
Then religion told me to be holy with the burden on my shoulders
Though meaning well still gavе me hell, and I realizеd just the same
The roads are wide on both sides, but that's why Jesus came
(Mm-mm)
(Mm-mm)
[Verse 3]
Gonna walk this life
Straight through time
Holdin’ fast to Jesus Christ
As bombs go off (Mm-mm)
On my left and right (Mm-mm)
I'm gonna walk this line 'til I see the light
[Chorus]
I thought my whole life there was just a pull from one side
A dark attempt to see me compromise
And then religion told me to be holy with the burden on my shoulders
Though meaning well still gave me hell, and I realized just the same
The roads are wide on both sides, but that’s why Jesus came
(Mm-mm)
(Mm-mm)
[Bridge]
His yoke is easy, His burden doesn't crush me
His hand is always steady
So I let Him lead
The blind guide blindly, but I see the best when trusting
His hand is always steady
So I let Him lead
His yoke is easy and His burden doesn't crush me
His hand is always steady
So I let Him lead
The blind guide blindly, but I see the best when trusting
His hand is always steady
So I let Him lead
[Chorus]
I thought my whole life there was just a pull from one side
A dark attempt to see me compromise
Then religion told me to be holy with the burden on my shoulders
Though meaning well still gave me hell, and I realized just the same
The roads are wide on both sides, but that's why Jesus came
(Mm-mm)
(Mm-mm)
[Outro]
Gonna walk this line
Straight through time
Holdin' fast to Jesus Christ
As bombs go off (Mm-mm)
On my left and right (Mm-mm)
I'm gonna walk this line 'til I see the light
That’s Why Jesus Came was written by Leslie Jordan & Kristene DiMarco & Gable Price & Bede Benjamin-Korporaal.
That’s Why Jesus Came was produced by Brad King & David Leonard.
Kristene DiMarco released That’s Why Jesus Came on Fri Apr 08 2022.
I came across this quote by Timothy Keller that said “you can run from God either by breaking his rules or by keeping them.“ this song is about holding on to Jesus, the narrow way, while seeing that “the roads are wide on both sides.”
