Honestly, We Just Need Jesus Lyrics by Terrian
Verse 1
I got a front row seat to the madness
I pick up my phone every morning out of habit
I’ve been fiendin’ for the drama, yeah, I said it
I’m addicted to the rush, need a medic
When I take a step back I can see it
All the pain, all the fear we’ve been feeling
Losing sight of the thing that we’re needing
That we’re needing
Chorus
Honestly, I think we just need Jesus
Honestly, I think we just need Jesus
Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?
What used to be wrong we say that it’s right
Honestly, I think we just need Jеsus
Verse 2
Take a good long look in the mirror
Search my hеart and soul, make it clearer
Help me take Your love, trade the bitter
Leave it in the dust, help me leave it in the dust, Lord
We’ve been preaching, we’ve been drinking in the vanity (In the vanity)
Now it’s got us questioning our sanity (Sanity)
And we wonder how we get all this anxiety
It’s clear to me
Chorus
Honestly, I think we just need Jesus (Jesus)
Honestly, I think we just need Jesus (Jesus)
Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?
What used to be wrong we say that it’s right
Honestly, I think we just need Jesus
Bridge
We turn away (We turn away)
We’re running back to You (Oh-oh)
Covered in grace (Covered in grace)
God, You can make us new (Make us new)
We turn away (We turn away)
We’re running back to You (Oh-oh)
Covered in grace (Covered in grace)
God, You can make us new, ohh
Chorus
(Oh-oh-oh)
Honestly, we need, we need You, Jesus
(We need You, Jesus)
Honestly, we need, we need You, Jesus
(We need You)
Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?
What used to be wrong we say that it’s right
Honestly, we need, we need You, Jesus
Post-Chorus
Oh, Jesus (Jesus, Jesus, Jesus)
We’re running back, we’re running back to You
We need You, Jesus, oh
We’re running back, we’re running back to You
(Jesus, Jesus, Jesus)
Outro
We’re running back, we’re running back to You (Jesus, Jesus, Jesus)
We’re running back to You, oh, yeah (Jesus, Jesus, Jesus)
