Lyrics
Verse 1
My Jesus
Do you know Him
Have you seen Him round here lately
People say He’s been seen
Walking and talking with His friends so easy
They say He’s been breaking bread
Right at the tables we gave up on
Pouring hope in the cracked cups
Singing over every tired one
Chorus
My Jesus
Do you know Him
Have you seen Him like this before
I heard He slipped right through the graveyard
Left the stones on the valley floor
My Jesus
I thought He was finished
But I see Him in the dark and then
My Jesus
My Jesus
He’s back here
Breathing in my heart again
Verse 2
Where’s He been
I was sure that chapter ended
Closed the book
Packed my doubts
Told myself to just forget it
But then I saw Him in the hallway
In the eyes of a shaking friend
He said
“Peace be with you
Child”
And the fear
It had to bend
Chorus
My Jesus
Do you know Him
Have you seen Him like this before
I heard He slipped right through the graveyard
Left the stones on the valley floor
My Jesus
I thought He was finished
But I see Him in the dark and then
My Jesus
My Jesus
He’s back here
Breathing in my heart again
Bridge
I didn’t think He’d be coming back again
Thought the story stopped at the bitter end
But He’s laughing in the kitchen
He’s healing in the rain
He’s showing up in every hidden place of pain (oh)
Chorus
My Jesus
Do you know Him
Have you seen Him like this before
I heard He slipped right through the graveyard
Left the stones on the valley floor
My Jesus
I thought He was finished
But I see Him in the dark and then
My Jesus
My Jesus
He’s here now
Living in my heart again
