More Than True

If there’s one thing you should know, it’s that Jesus understands,
For they spat on Him, mocked Him, drove nails through His feet and hands.
Yes, they hung Him on a cross, and then left Him there to die,
Yet, despite that, “Forgive them, Father,” He was heard to cry.

If there’s one thing you should know, it’s that Jesus really cares,
Knows of all your struggles, trials, notices all your tears.
And when He’s sought in prayer, there’s not a word He doesn’t hear,
Nor a burden He won’t bear, if you’ll only with Him share.

If there’s one thing you should know, it’s that Jesus’ love is vast,
His interest in you, and loving watch care, unsurpassed.
Yes, not a day goes by where He is unaware of you,
Nor that which is in your best interest forgets to pursue.

If there’s one thing you should know, it’s that Jesus never fails,
He’s always at the helm, always in control, midst life’s gales.
He can get you through each storm, and across each angry sea,
Supply you with His power so you’ll gain the victory.

If there’s one thing you should know, it’s that Jesus is for real,
Something you’ll discover if you humble your heart and kneel,
If you surrender to His will, seeking Him earnestly,
No longer desiring to sin — remorseful, genuinely.

If there’s one thing you should know, it’s that Jesus offers grace,
Hence why up in Heaven He’s been reserving you a place.
He dearly wants you there with Him, He misses you so much,
And knows it’s only His grace that’ll free you from Satan’s clutch.

If there’s one thing you should know, it is all of the above,
For this God who reigns on high is a God of truth and love.
Yes, you can rest assured that all I’m saying here is true,
For love and truth met on Calvary where He bled for you.
