The Jesus I Knew Lyrics

Everyone loved you in our little town

You were the friendly face, always around

A gentle man who boldly spoke truth

Seeds were planted in all who knew you

When I think of home, I think of you

You're the Jesus I knew

Your sword always at your side

Your shield of faith protecting your life

How can it be, rested on your knee

Hearing the Bible, you inspired me

Your warm embrace, made a girl feel safe

Holding my hand, you gave me strength

When I think of home, I think of you

You're the Jesus I knew

You never wore a frown

Even when death came around

I wish you could know the difference you made

In my life and others, much to celebrate

So many blessed because of your faith

God help me live my life the same way

When I think of home, I think of you

You're the Jesus I knew

Lingering in your legacy

And wishing you were still with me

When my heart was breaking

And I didn't know the way

I wanted to talk to you, just to hear you say

That Jesus loves me still, all will be okay

But you had gone away

When I think of home, I think of you

You're the Jesus I knew

Life's journey continues

But it's not the same without you
