"Gotta Get Me Some Jesus"
(Heavy guitar intro) (70 bpm)
(Verse 1)
I’ve been runnin’ on empty, fumes and pride
Chasin’ shadows just to feel alive
Built my kingdoms out of dust and noise
Every promise broke, every cheap decoy
I tried money, I tried muscle, I tried fame
Tried numbin’ out the guilt, drownin’ out the shame
But the louder I yelled, the more lost I got
Till I hit my knees at the end of my rope.
(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t need another high or excuse
I need truth that cuts me loose
Chorus
I gotta get me some Jesus
Gotta get back to the cross
I’ve been carryin’ this weight too long
Tryin’ to be my own god
I’m done trustin’ my reasons
I’m done doin’ it alone
When the world starts fallin’ apart
I gotta get me some Jesus
Yeah, I gotta get me some Jesus.
(Verse 2)
I’ve been talkin’ real tough, actin’ like I’m fine
Smilin’ through the cracks, lyin’ all the time
Built my life on idols dressed in gold
But they don’t love back, and they don’t save souls
Every shortcut cost me more than it gave
Every “almost free” just dug my grave
Now I’m done pretendin’ I’m in control
I need a Savior, not another goal.
(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t need a fix that fades by dawn
I need grace that carries on.
(Chorus)
I gotta get me some Jesus
Gotta get back to the cross
I’ve been carryin’ this weight too long
Tryin’ to be my own god
I’m done trustin’ my reasons
I’m done doin’ it alone
When the world starts fallin’ apart
I gotta get me some Jesus.
(Bridge (half-time, gritty)
Strip it down, take it all away
Every lie I loved, every debt I paid
If I lose it all but I find Your truth
That’s a win I can live through
I don’t need the crowd to believe
I just need You here with me.
(1 minute guitar solo)
(Breakdown / Chant)
No more idols
No more lies
No more runnin’ for my life.
(Final Chorus (anthem)
I gotta get me some Jesus
Gotta lay it all down
From the wreckage of my own mistakes
He’s the only solid ground
I don’t need perfect answers
I don’t need it all resolved
I just need mercy, truth, and grace
When I hear that gospel call
Yeah, I gotta get me some Jesus
Outro (swagger + resolve)
When I’m weak, He’s strong
When I’m lost, He knows
If I’ve got nothin’ else in this world
I’ve got hope
