“Jesus Saves” (Rock / Christian Reimagining) Spoken (low, gritty, half-spoken) You got a minute? Yeah… I ain’t preachin’, man Just tellin’ you what pulled me outta the fire I used to think I was just another character Turns out… He was lookin’ for me the whole time... (Verse 1) Jesus was a drifter Outta place New Yorker Sleeping where the streetlights fade Empty hands, bent guitar Counting up His quarters Still singing through the rain They laughed at what He stood for Said He talked too much truth Said the world don’t wanna hear But the words kept cutting Through the smoke and noise Like a voice you couldn’t fear. (Slight pause) (Chorus) Jesus saves Yeah, He does From the chains, from the grave From the blood on our hands Jesus saves In the dark, in the pain When you’re barely breathing Still calling His name Jesus saves.. (Verse 2) Jesus started changing Things got uncomfortable Truth don’t sell like lies T-shirts, cheap religion Everybody’s got opinions But nobody wants the price He missed a couple shows ‘Cause He was healing broken souls In the alleys, not the stage The crowd turned restless Said, “Pick a side” But love don’t fit in cages. (Pre-Chorus) They said, “Tone it down Don’t talk ‘bout sin Don’t say there’s blood on the door” But grace ain’t quiet And mercy bleeds And He ain’t here for applause. (Slight pause) (Chorus) Jesus saves Yeah, He does From the wreckage we became From the night we were lost Jesus saves Not a slogan, not a phase It’s a cross in the dirt With a stone rolled away Jesus saves.. (Heavy dual guitar solo, one minute) (Slight pause) (Bridge - half-time, heavy) Dice were cast Past caught up Every man gotta choose Crowns of gold Or a crown of thorns Tell me which one you’d lose Last seen hanging Between two thieves While the world turned away But death blinked first When the stone rolled back And the grave gave up His name. (Breakdown - spoken / screamed) I was drowning in myself Calling freedom anything else Then I heard Him cut through the night Not religion… Resurrection! (Final Chorus) Jesus saves Yeah, He does Hear Him cut through the night On those late-night radio waves Jesus saves When the world turns its face From the sinner, the junkie The lost and ashamed Jesus saves.. (Heavy guitar solo) (Outro) Still saving… Still calling… Still reaching down into the noise
