That’s Why Jesus Came

Intro:
G   Gsus  G    Em  D  G
 
Verse: 1
        G        Gsus        G
In my desire for righteous - ness
  Em                   D     G
I turned my heart into a fortress
             G         Gsus   G
Built higher walls with no drawbridge
  Em                      D           G
I grabbed my sword and I clenched my fists
 
 
Verse: 2
          G          Gsus  G
Oh fear divides and sep - arates
       Em           D     G
And as wisdom often masquerades
          G       Gsus   G
But Jesus comes and violates
      Em               D      G
Every kingdom built to iso - late
 
 
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         
But that’s why Jesus came

Verse: 3
                    G
I’m gonna walk this line straight through time
Em              D     G
Holdin’fast to Jesus Christ
            G         Gsus        G
As bombs go off on my left and right
          Em                    D       G
I’m gonna walk this line till I see the light

Chorus:
