The Jesus I Know

Tom: C

C                         Csus4
Do You ever feel misunderstood
Gsus4                                  C
When You look at what this thing's become?
                                       Csus4
How does something that sides with the least
       Gsus4                         C
Be the thing that excludes them the most?


[Chorus]
        Dm                           Am7
And I'm not tryna put words in Your mouth
  C                                  Gsus4
'Cause I fear that's where we got it wrong
                         Csus4
But sometimes the Jesus I see
        Gsus4                   C
Seems so far from the Jesus I know


[Verse 2]
                             Fmaj7
And just like these people I blame
Gsus4                             C
Have I made You something You're not?
                                   Fmaj7
'Cause I live off the good of Your name
Gsus4                           C
And in somе ways I profit the Cross


[Chorus]
Dm                                     Am7
And I'm scared if You walked in this church
            C                     Gsus4
You might flip all thе tables and go
               C                     Fmaj7
So would that same Jesus love all my merch?
       Gsus4                   C
Or is that just the Jesus I know?


[Verse 3]
C                                  Fmaj7
And I've tried with the best of my words
      Gsus4                   C
To be true to who You really are
                            Fmaj7
But I wonder how far I fell short
          Gsus4                   C
Do You recognize Yourself in my songs?


[Chorus]
       Dm                      Am7
'Cause all that I want is the truth
       C                 Gsus4
And I hope my theology's close
            C                 Csus4
But who could summarize infiniteness?
           Gsus4                    C
To think I know only proves that I don't
                           Fmaj7
A mystery I'll never quite get
 Gsus4              C
That's the Jesus I know
