Ooh, when I think about Your name I go
We gon’ make it out the hood someday
Jesus, when I had nothing
I say ooh, don't you know
I heard my mama crying, I gotta let her know
Even when I don't love You like I should
Can you hand me down a dream
With those hand-me-down jeans?
Thought my game was clever
I say ooh, it's so sweet
I heard it say it's gonna get better
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, the reason I'm still breathing is 'cause
Thought I'd never make it but I made it y'all
Jesus, Jesus, hey Mr. DJ, hey Mr. DJ
He's gonna wipe her tears away
Ooh, every night at the club, ain't no wife at the club
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Had to struggle, and was up to no good
Is crazy how you love me
Is crazy how You love me
Even when I don't love you like I should
'Cause I had Jesus when I had nothing
Ooh, how You took away my pain I go
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Ooh, look at me
Jesus, hey Mr. DJ, hey Mr. DJ
I know I'm now all I'm supposed to be
Hey Mr. DJ, hey Mr. DJ
You know You always win
Hey Mr. DJ, hey Mr. DJ
So while you're waiting please wait patiently
Had to struggle, and was up to no good
Jesus, the reason I'm still breathing is 'cause
It was hard always wearing my cousin's clothes
‘Cause You're Jesus, when I had nothing
Can you play my favorite song? Will you play my favorite?
But no one can play me better than You
To know that You were always in love with me
Jesus, the reason I'm still breathing is 'cause
Kids looked at me funny, momma she had no money
That Jesus He be showing me love
Had to struggle, and was up to no good
I'm gonna get it right, didn't get here overnight
Even when I don't love You like I should
Jesus, Jesus, hey Mr. DJ
It's only by His grace I can say look at me now
But she always told me, "Baby, know who you are”
Is crazy how You love me
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
I wanna hear that song about Jesus
