What Would Jesus Do?
[Intro]
Yeah…
Every step I take, I gotta ask myself
Before I react
Before I speak
What would Jesus do?
[Verse 1]
I been tested lately, pressure on my name
Everybody got opinions, tryna pull me out my lane
Ego say “strike back,” pride say “prove you right”
But conviction whisper softly, “Choose a different fight”
It ain’t easy when the disrespect loud
When they doubt your growth, try to play you in crowds
I could move off anger, let my temper loose
Or I could pause for a second and ask, “what Jesus do?”
I remember grace when I deserved none
How He stayed patient when I tried to run
So who am I to act like I’m above restraint
When mercy covered me in my weakest state
[Pre-Chorus]
Every choice weigh heavy on my soul
I don’t wanna lose myself for control
When my flesh say react and prove
I breathe in deep and ask, “What would Jesus do?”
[Chorus]
What would Jesus do
If He was walking in my shoes?
When the world push back and I’m feeling confused
I don’t want my will, I want the truth
What would Jesus do
When the line get thin between wrong and right?
I let God lead, even in the fight
I choose grace every time I choose
(What would Jesus do)
[Verse 2]
I got goals, yeah, I want more
But I don’t wanna sell my soul to score
I seen people win but lose they peace
Whole lotta success, no relief
So I check my heart when I make a move
Ask if this aligned or just something to prove
If it cost my character, it cost too much
I’d rather walk slow and stay in touch
With the voice that guide me when it don’t make sense
When forgiveness stronger than getting revenge
I ain’t perfect, I just trying to grow
Trying to reflect Him everywhere I go
[Bridge]
Teach me patience
Teach me love
Teach me how
To rise above
When I’m weak
Be my strength
Let my life
Point to Him…
[Chorus]
What would Jesus do
If He was walking in my shoes?
When the world push back and I’m feeling confused
I don’t want my will, I want the truth
What would Jesus do
When the line get thin between wrong and right?
I let God lead, even in the fight
I choose grace every time I choose
(What would Jesus do)
[Verse 3]
I ain’t saying I get it right every time
But I’m better than I was when I crossed that line
Growth look like pausing before you speak
Strength look like choosing to be me
If they hate, I won’t hate back
If they lie, I’ll just state facts
I let God handle what I can’t undo
I just keep asking, “What would Jesus do?”
[Outro]
Not my ego
Not my pride
Just His love
As my guide
What would Jesus do?
