I ain't got Nobody But Jesus (Heavier Version)
(Heavy bass guitar intro)
(Verse 1)
Who was the one that walked me through the night?
When I couldn’t tell the wrong road from the right
Every step felt like a losing fight
But He stayed when the rest took flight
Pre-Chorus (tight, building)
When the lights went out on me
Grace was the only thing I could see.
(Verse 2)
Who was the one when I didn’t know my name?
Before I drew breath, He loved me just the same
Who was the one who took me by the hand
Pulled me back from the edge like only a father can
(Chorus (HEAVY, simple, chantable)
I ain’t got nobody but Jesus
Ain’t got nobody but Him
When the world turned its back on me
He was there till the bitter end
I’ve been low, I’ve been broken
I’ve been down to my knees
I ain’t got nobody but Jesus
And He ain’t done with me.
(Verse 3)
Who was the one that carried all my shame?
When I wore my sins like a rusted chain
I tried to bury every bad mistake
But mercy hit hard and it wouldn’t break.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
I ran as far as I could go
But truth was the one thing I couldn’t outrun.
(Chorus (bigger)
I ain’t got nobody but Jesus
Ain’t got nobody but Him
I tried everything else to save me
But it all fell apart again
I’ve been burned by promises
I believed in lies I believed in men
I ain’t got nobody but Jesus
And He ain’t done with me.
(Bridge (half-time, dark)
Friends fade out
Hope wears thin
Every voice says, “This is the end”
But from the wreckage, from the dirt
I heard His voice say, “Son, get up — it hurts, but you’re worth it”
(drop instruments — then slam back in)
(Breakdown / Chant)
Nobody but Jesus
Nobody but Jesus
When I had nothing left
He was it.
(Final Chorus (FULL SEND)
I ain’t got nobody but Jesus
Ain’t got nobody but Him
Through the fire, through the blood and dust
He was faithful then and then again
I don’t need a throne or a crown
I just need the truth that sets me free
I ain’t got nobody but Jesus
And that’s all I’ll ever need.
(Outro (gritty, quiet)
When I didn’t know my name
He called me..
