That’s Why Jesus Came

Intro
G     C   G         Em   D   G  

      
Verse 
        G        C         G
In my desire for righteousness
   Em                  D   G
I turned my heart into a fortress
             G          C         G
Built higher walls with no drawbridge
     Em                  D         G
I grabbed my sword and I clenched my fists
           G        C   G
Oh fear divides and separates
        Em          D      G
And as wisdom often masquerades
    G  G         C  G
But Jesus comes and violates
      Em               D  G
Every kingdom built to isolate


Chorus
   C                Em 
I thought my whole life
                  D             G
There was just a pull from one side
   C               Em           D
A dark attempt to see me compromise
              C              Em
Then religion told me to be holy
        D             G
With a burden on my shoulders
        C                  Em
Though meaning well still gave me hell
        D
And I realized just the same
    C                 Em
The roads are wide on both sides
    D               G
But that's why Jesus came

Verse 
          C         G       C             G
I'm gonna walk this line straight through time
Em              D        G
Holdin' fast to Jesus Christ
   C        G         C         G
As bombs go off on my left and right
           Em                   D        G
I'm gonna walk this line till I see the light

Bridge
    G                 G C 
His yoke is easy, His burden doesn't crush me
    G Em                      D
His hand is always steady and so I'll let Him lead
    G                         G C 
The blind guide blindly but I see the best when trusting
    G Em                   D                        
His hand is always steady, so I'll let Him lead
