This week, you’ll start hearing a new song, “Jesus Loves” by Zach Williams.
Story Behind the Song
Story Behind the Song:
“I was a runaway prodigal that Jesus looked at and said, “the table set. Come on over. Have a seat.” I sat down at the table, and I never looked back. I wanted the heart behind this song to be a simple reminder of the unconditional love that Jesus has for each and every one of us. the song’s for everybody, but more importantly, it’s for the ones that have felt unaccepted or that feel like they don’t belong. maybe you’ve struggled with your fear and your shame of your past mistakes. My prayer is that you can find hope in knowing that no matter what you’ve done in your life, no matter where you are, you don’t have to be enough to be someone Jesus loves. The cross was already proof that you’re already someone Jesus loves.” – Zach Williams

Lyrics to “Jesus Loves”
Lyrics
All the renegades, the rebels, and the runaways
All the prodigals who got a little lost along the way
And all the backsliders, up all nighters, down in a rut
These are the ones
The ones that Jesus loves
Every dream shattered, bruised and battered, barely hanging on
Every heartbroken, lonely soul sitting all alone
And every outcast, stuck in their past, scared of letting go
These are the ones
The ones that Jesus chose
So come on in, the doors is open
And the Savior’s arms are too
The table’s set, a seat is waiting
And He saved it just for you
So no more running
No more hiding
Come on in and you will find
That you don’t have to be enough
To be someone Jesus loves
And all the too proud, the holier than thou, looking down on them
And all the high and mighty, fallen from grace, trying to start again
And all the stones cast, judgment passed, He’s forgiven you
Oh, He’s leaving the light on
So you know where to run to
So come on in, the doors is open
And the Savior’s arms are too
The table’s set, a seat is waiting
And He saved it just for you
So no more running
No more hiding
Come on in and you will find
That you don’t have to be enough
To be someone Jesus loves (loves)
Don’t gotta fight for His forgiveness
Don’t gotta beg Him for his grace
You don’t gotta argue for acceptance
If you hear nothin’ else, child, hear me say
Yes, Jesus loves
Oh yes, Jesus loves you
So come on in, the doors is open
And the savior’s arms are too
The table’s set, a seat is waiting
And He saved it just for you
So no more running
No more hiding
Come on in and you will find
That you don’t have to be enough
No, no, no
It’s been decided by the blood
Yes, you’re someone Jesus loves
Someone Jesus loves
You’re already someone Jesus loves
