Brandon Lake & Lainey Wilson The Jesus I Know Now Lyrics

[Verse 1: Brandon Lake, Brandon Lake & Lainey Wilson]
I was told He was angry
And He hated the music up too loud
I was told He would save me
If I showed up to church and I shut my mouth
If I smoked, if I drank, if I cussed, I'd think
I was on a long black train to Hell
Yeah, I thought I knew Him
'Til I met Him for myself

[Chorus: Brandon Lake & Lainey Wilson]
But the Jesus I know now
Ain't shakin' a fist, ain't raisin' a brow
Yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain't runnin' away from a party crowd
I found a friend
Who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again
Can't believe I was missin' out
On the Jesus I know now

[Post-Chorus: Brandon Lake]
Mm

[Verse 2: Lainey Wilson, Both, Brandon Lake]
I'm learnin' He likes me
Even when I take a joke a little too far
Yeah, I'm learnin' He knows me
Every hair on my head, every story behind my scars
And He says who I am and it ain't what I do
His grace takes some gettin' used to
I'm learnin' He loves me
Yeah, the boy in a bar and the kid in a pew

[Chorus: Brandon Lake & Lainey Wilson] Yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain't shakin' a fist, ain't raisin' a brow
Yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain't runnin' away from a party crowd
I found a friend
Who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again
Can't believe I was missin' out
On the Jesus I know now

[Post-Chorus: Brandon Lake & Lainey Wilson]
On the Jesus I know now
The Jesus I know now

[Bridge: Lainey Wilson]
Yeah, I got what I wanted
I heard my song on the radio
Let me longin' and lonely, yeah
Top of the world with an empty heart
And nowhere left to go
But back into the arms

[Chorus: Brandon Lake & Lainey Wilson]
Of the Jesus I know now
Ain't just a voice up there in the clouds
Yeah, the Jesus I know now
Ain't lookin' for trophies to make Him proud
I found a friend
Who hangs with the misfits, listens, forgives, then forgives again
Can't believe I was missin' out
On the Jesus I know now

[Outro: Brandon Lake & Lainey Wilson]
On the Jesus I know now
The Jesus I know now
