​"The Real Jesus"
​

I've seen "The Real Jesus"                         
Down inside my heart                                  
He's not like religion                                       
How's that for a start?                                   


He's Loving, Forgiving                                    
He's Gentle, He's Kind                               
And Oh God - He's Awesome                    
And I've made him mine                              


I've seen "The Real Jesus"                             
Down inside my heart                                  
There is peace now in knowing                     
Torment's not my part                             


I've seen "The Real Jesus"                        
The One that understands me                    
And with great care and patience              
He's perfecting me                                           


I've seen "The Real Jesus"                              
And I'm telling the truth                              
There's a counterfeit Jesus                         
Out there on the loose                                     

I've seen him often
He's condemning and mean
That self-righteous bigot
Is everywhere seen


I've seen him puffed up
And exalted in pride
He makes you feel so unworthy
That you think you should hide


I've seen him and heard him
Accusing me in my mind
You're no good-you blew it
"God will get you this time"


But I've seen "The Real Jesus"
Now the fake just won't do
He's not condemning me
He's not condemning you 


I've seen "The Real Jesus"
So if you want follow me
Wherever Love Is
That's where I'll be
