How can they live without Jesus?

How can they live without God's love?

How can they feel so at home down here,

When there's so much more up above?

Throwing away the things that matter,

They hold onto things that don't.

The world has gone crazy, but soon maybe,

A lot more are going to know.



For maybe they don't understand it,

Or maybe they just haven't heard.

Or maybe we're not doing all we can,

Living up to His Holy Word.

Cause phonies have come and wrongs been done,

Even killing in Jesus' name.

And if you've been burnt, here's what I've learned,

The Lord's not the one to blame.



For He's not just religion with steeples and bells,

Or a sales man who will sell you the things you just want to hear.

But His love was such, that he suffered so much,

To call some of us just to follow, follow.


So many laughing at Jesus,

While the funniest thing that He's done,

Is love this whole stubborn rebellious world,

While their hate for Him just goes on.

And love just like that will bring him back,

For the few He can call His friends.

The ones He's found true who've made it through,

Enduring until the end.

The one's He's found true, who've made it through,

Enduring until the end…

I need to say these things cause, I love you so,

And I'm sorry you get angry when I say that, you just don't know,

But there's a Heaven waiting for you and me.

I know it seems every time we talk I'm only trying to just make you see.

And it's only that I care, I really only want just to see you there.


Please try and overlook my human side,

I know I'm such a bad example and you know I'm so full of pride.

But Jesus isn't like that, now He's perfect all the way,

I guess that's why we need him, cause by ourselves, there's just no way.

And it's only that I care, I really, really only just want to see you there.

To see you there.



Close the doors, there're just not coming.

We sent the invitations out a long, long, long time ago.

We're still gonna have a wedding feast,

Big enough to beat them all.

The greatest people in the world just wouldn't come,

So now we'll just have to invite the small.

And it's only that I care, I really, really only want just to see you there.



Isn't that Jesus? Isn't it Joseph and Mary's son?

Well didn't he grow up right here? He played with our children.

What, he must be kidding? Thinks he a prophet.

But prophets don't grow up from little boys.

Do they, from little boys? Do they?

How can they live without Jesus?

How can they live without God's love?

How can they feel so at home down here,

When there's so much more up above?

Oh Lord, you're beautiful,

Your face is all I see,

For when your eyes are on this child,

Your grace abounds to me.


Oh Lord, you're beautiful,

Your face is all I see,

For when your eyes are on this child,

Your grace abounds to me.



I want to take your word and shine it all around.

But first help me to just, live it Lord.

And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown.

For my reward is giving glory to you.


Oh Lord, please light the fire,

That once burned bright and clean.

Replace the lamp of my first love,

That burns with Holy fear.
