Lyrics
Picture this an 8 year old kid growing up in Georgia
Having a hard time with the world that he was seeing
Coming home from school scared to death
And always wondering what kind of mood his dad would be in
That kind of home can do a number on you
Mom and dad broke up and I guess I broke too
I grew up thinking nothing good could ever come from a story like mine
But
Who turns a broken dream
Into a life redeemed
Who can turn your worst defeat
Into your victory
Who saw me where I was
And led me where I stand
My life is living proof that only Jesus can
Everybody’s got that hurt they wished that never happened
Everybody’s got that pain they wish they could undo
But wounds become scars and scars become stories
And when it comes to the story of you
Who turns a broken dream
Into a life redeemed
Who can turn your worst defeat
Into your victory
Who saw me where I was
And led me where I stand
My life is living proof that only Jesus can
Only Jesus can save me
Only Jesus can change me
Only Jesus can take me
From lost to found
Hallelujah I’m singing
There’s no stealing my freedom
He picked up all the pieces
Look at me now
Who turns a broken dream
Into a life redeemed
Who can turn your worst defeat
Into your victory
Who saw me where I was
And led me where I stand
My life is living proof that only Jesus can
Oh thank You Jesus
Only Jesus can save me
Only Jesus can change me
Only Jesus can take me
From lost to found
Hallelujah I’m singing
There’s no stealing my freedom
My life is living proof that only Jesus can

About This Song
Austin French's 'Jesus Can,' was written from a Christian perspective, but it is a song that ministers to both Christians and non-Christians. The song looks at our world from the eyes of an 8-year-old boy who was witnessing the many challenges that we all have to go through. The boy was having hard times; he was living in fear. He cannot comprehend how he would scale through all these. Looking at his parents does not help the matter because he saw they were grappling with their problems too.
That boy's story is what we all share. All of us are going through it. For "In this world there are tribulations." John 16:33. Just like all other Austin French Songs. "Jesus Can" tells us that the solution is Jesus. The one ordained and anointed by God for our salvation. He is the only one that can save us. The only one that can turn our broken dreams into testimonies of joy.
