STORY BEHIND THE SONG: Real Jesus

There's not a whole lot I can say about the song 'Real Jesus' that isn't being said in the actual song itself. It's one of those songs that moves me every time I listen to it because it's tied to some very deep emotions.    I wrote this as a prayer of honesty, brokenness and humility.  Here are the lyrics:

Spirit fall, Spirit call me into you, I want to feel all of you

Spirit fall, call me by the grace of Christ and His sacrifice

Tear down the walls, of all these things I try to do for You

Come claim my heart for only You

I want to breathe the breath of freedom

I want to see Your glory and Your kingdom come, so come

I want to see the chains fall off Your people, so all the world would know
 and see the real Jesus

So come

Jesus You're all, Jesus You're more than all I'll ever need 

So come and waste me for Your glory (x2)

Tear down the walls, of all these things I try to do for You

Come claim my heart for only You

I want to breathe the breath of freedom

I want to see Your glory and Your kingdom come, so come

I want to see the chains fall off Your people, so all the world would know 
and see the real Jesus

So come

And consume me with this one thing: Your fame.  

I want to breathe the breath of freedom

I want to see Your glory and Your kingdom come, so come

I want to see the chains fall off Your people, so all the world would know
 and see the real Jesus

So come
