Testo Jesus Loves Me - Beacon Light
Testo della canzone Jesus Loves Me (Beacon Light), tratta dall'album Open Eyes
I remember singing "Jesus Loves Me" at an early age
I was raised in church, since baby words I learned to say
"Christ loves the little children" repeatedly in my mind
Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight
But I didn't feel so precious on that day I got molested
In fact I felt more rejected, neglected from His protection
And all these questions started forming in my mind
Am I gay? Am I straight? 'Cause it continued often
I felt ugly, trapped and so ashamed, I never told a soul
Because I feared I'd take the blame, nobody'd ever know
It was my secret, my pain, my hurt, my shame
I couldn't let it out, if I did they'd surely call me gay
And I remember when they did at the mall that day
I broke down in tears and simply walked away
'Cause I remembered all those times that other boy had touched me
And I started wondering if Jesus really loved me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so
To add to all that mess, life at home became a stress
My parents fought more and more, divorce was what I read
But they said that they never would, the Bible said that it was wrong
So I had hoped the Bible would keep them focused to push along
But eventually the walls of marriage fell
Leaving me and my sister exposed to all this hell
Not to mention my older sister who saw another glimpse
That maybe the Bible couldn't help you when you trip
I was ticked and I would curse at God
My family stripped amidst the storm
My pictures ripped, memories gone
I shook my fist, looked up to God and said
"I don't believe in You, You can't be real, what is this trash?
Molested, I'm abused, my family too and now my mom and dad?"
All this pain is bottled up inside
I see the rain but where's the sun? All I see is clouds
And I can't go on, but I'ma make it through
And I said to God, "I'm gonna do it without You"
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so
Alone, that's how I felt
Handling my problems by myself
I didn't need God or so I thought
But now I felt so empty
Indulging in the things they said would help me
Money, sex and the party life, that's how I lived
Education didn't even help with my brokenness
I kept on being broken with the same pain, same strain
Running on one leg, kept getting the same sprain
Cripple, looking at a glass lake
Seeing my reflection in the ripples of the wake
I was lost and confused, still bottling my pain
Took that bottle to my brain, trying to make it go away
But I couldn't, I could never escape
I realized inside only death was my fate
I'm so lost, which way to go? I don't know
All I know is that I need You, God, to take control
Please take control and change my ways
I need to know I'm saved, right now I'm feeling pain
And when I prayed that, I truly felt a change
It didn't happen all at once but trust me things did change
I've never been the same since that day I called on Jesus
He changed my life, in exchange for chains He gave me freedom
I've been forgiven of every sin I've ever committed
Rid me of my ignorance, Father, and show me how to live it
I wanna be like You, I wanna be like You
I hate this evil inside me, provide me with Your truth
Because the whole world is surrounded with lies
I know because I bought into 'em, they blinded my eyes
So please renew my mind, renew my soul
Create a heart that's clean inside me, God, and make me whole
I need You more than I need the breath inside of my lungs
Protect me from evil, I need Your presence to come
You are holy and amazing and Your Spirit's always pure
You are worthy of the praise because You are the only cure
Break down the walls of Jericho, in Jesus' name we call
Healed of Sodom and Gomorrah, all our generations fall
God we need You, we've been broken from confusion and abuse
Sexuality confused, pornography introduced
It was people who had done me wrong but Jesus showed me how to live
Redemption's what the Gospel is
Yes, Jesus loves me
(Redemption's what the Gospel is)
Yes, Jesus loves me
(Jesus showed me how to live)
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so
