Jesus Are You Real in Mason Jennings

Jesus are you real
Did we make you up
Is salvation what you want
Or is faith enough
Do you know where i'm bound
Do you know who i am
Are you just a word i use
When i don't understand

Standing like a statue in the sea
In a little truck stop in tennessee
Bombs are crashing down in waves
On a giant tv screen
And i am struck
I cannot move
To make it stop
What can i do
People are dying in their beds
While this flag flies over our heads

Jesus are you stronger
Than a loaded gun
I'm beginning to believe
You're not the only one
Strong enough to show your love
Strong enough to give
Strong enough to go through hell
Strong enough to live

All night long i sat with you
In a darkened hospital room
Nurses checked in by the hour
I was made aware of a higher power
And how this fragile life we live
Is not ours to keep but ours to give
What in the world am i gonna do
If anything should happen to you

All i do is doubt you god
All is do is love you god
All i do is question you
What else can i do
This world was never solid ground
All i do is search for you
What else can i do
And when i say i search for you
I mean i search for peace
I search for hope
I search for love
And one day release

Jesus my life does not feel the same
New things happen every day
Things i can't explain
But i am not a man of faith
I'm a man of truth
But is this feeling in my heart
Is this feeling proof

When you do not know
You know
And when you know
You do not know
And when you think you do you die
And when you do do not think you grow
Are we left here in the dark
Or are we left here in the light
It seems to me that both are true
And it's up to us to know what's right

All i do is doubt you god
All is do is love you god
All i do is question you
What else can i do
This world was never solid ground
Religion cannot help me now
All i do is search for you
What else can i do
And when i say i search for you
I mean i search for peace
I search for hope
I search for love
And one day release

God give me strength to accept the things
That i just cannot know
And even when i lose control
I will not let you go
