Jesus Are You Real

Jesus, are you real?

Did we make you up?

Is salvation what you want

Or is faith enough?

Do you know where I'm bound?

Do you know who I am?

Are you just a word I use

When I don't understand?

Standing like a statue in the sea

In a little truck stop in Tennessee

And bombs are crashing down in waves

On a giant TV screen

And I am struck

I cannot move to make it stop

What can I do? People are dying in their beds

While this flag flies over our heads

Jesus, are you stronger than a loaded gun?

I'm beginning to believe you're not the only one

Strong enough to show your love, strong enough to give

Strong enough to go through hell, strong enough to live

And all night long I sat with you

In a darkened hospital room

And nurses checked in by the hour

I was made aware of a higher power

And how this fragile life we live

Is not ours to keep but ours to give

What in the world am I gonna do

If anything should happen to you?

All I do is doubt you, God

All is do is love you, God

All I do is question you

What else can I do?

This world was never solid ground

The past is coming back around

All I do is search for you

What else can I do?

And when I say I search for you

I mean I search for peace

I search for hope, I search for love

And one day for release

Jesus, my life does not feel the same

New things happen everyday, things I can't explain

But I am not a man of faith, I'm a man of truth

But is this feeling in my heart, is this feeling proof?

When you do not know, you know

And when you know, you do not know

And when you think you do, you die

And when you do not think, you grow

Are we left here in the dark

Or are we left here in the light?

It seems to me that both are true

And it's up to us to know what's right

All I do is doubt you, God

All is do is love you, God

All I do is question you

What else can I do?

This world was never solid ground

Religion cannot help me now

All I do is search for you

What else can I do?

And when I say I search for you

I mean I search for peace

I search for hope, I search for love

And one day for release

God give me strength to accept the things

That I just cannot know

And even when I lose control

I will not let you go
