"Gotta get me some Jesus!"

"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
