Jesus And John - Lisa Gungor / Xnoizz Flevo Festival 2012

Johnny was raised with a steeple over his head
Lived in the suburbs and memorized scripture 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 lit carnival show
Was it a lie?

John saw the lies
And he saw the steeples
And 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 fight it and he just couldn't buy it again
Church was too small so he just threw it all out to chaos and
chance
And all of the lies

John saw the lies
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
For Jesus will come and save us all
