Jesus Are You Real
from Boneclouds
Jesus are you real
Or did we make you up
Is salvation what you want
Or is faith enough
Do you know where I'm bound
Do you know who I am
Are you just a word I use
When I don't understand
Standing at the statue in the sea
In a little truckstop in Tennessee
And bombs are crashing down in waves
On the giant TV screen
And I am struck I cannot move
To make it stop what can I do?
People are dying in their beds
While this flag flies over our heads
Jesus are you stronger than a loaded gun
I'm beginning to believe you're not the only one
Strong enough to show your love
Strong enough to give
Strong enough to go through hell
Strong enough to live
And all night long I sat with you
In a darkened hospital room
And nurses checked in by the hour
I was made aware of a higher power
And how this fragile life we live
Is not ours to keep but ours to give
What in the world am I gonna do if anything should happen to you?
All I do is doubt you God
All I do is love you God
All I do is question you
What else can I do?
This world was never solid ground
The past is coming back around
All I do is search for you
What else I can do?
And when I say I search for you
I mean I search for peace
I search for hope
I search for love
And one day for release
Jesus my life does not feel the same
New things happen every day
Things I can't explain
I am not a man of faith
I'm a man of truth
But is this feeing in my heart
Is this feeling proof?
And when you do not know you know
And when you know you do not know
And when you think you do you die
And when you do not think you grow
Are we left here in the dark
Or are we left here in the light
Seems to me that both are true
And it's up to us to know what's right
And all I do is doubt you God
And all I do is love you God
All I do is question you
What else can I do?
This world was never solid ground
Religion cannot help me now
All I do is search for you
What else can I do?
And when I say I search for you
I mean I search for peace
I search for hope
I search for love
And one day for release
God give me strength to accept the things
That I just cannot know
And even when I lose control I will not let you go
