Well, I don't know how
Well, I found Jesus
Well, I don't care now
He's in my heart
And once he finds us
He's never gonna leave us
No matter how far
We fall apart
I used to wonder
What I was missing
I used to think that
I was missing things
And now the words are
Stronger voices
They sound like angels
Pulling strings
ย
He was there when
Nobody else was
He was there when
The world was sin
He was there when
Nobody else was
And I am here now
I'm gonna work for him
Well, I don't care how
I found Jesus
I don't care, Lord God
I know that he's in my heart
And once he finds us
He's never gonna leave us
No matter how far
You fall apart

I just had a crazy memory about that
We played that song in Portland
Before we recorded it, and this kid
I grew up with named Kyle Roundtree
Who just lost his brother Craig
Said to me after the show, "That third verse of that song was stupid"
And I didn't play it, it's not in there, I threw it out 'cause of him
And he was right, uh, cool call, Kyle
I like that one a lot
And I like gospel songs a lot
Although to me, they're like rap songs
Or like country songs
It's like, you don't dabble in that
It's offensive to the people that do it for a lifestyle
Uh, I mean, you dabble in it maybe with some respect
There's people that like "Mercy Me" or something like
They do that the same way I try to be a troubadour
And, um, you know
Anyway, man, so yeah, "Mercy Me", think about it
ย
Yeah, shit, yeah
Get some of that gospel money at the house
Spend it on good things
No, I'm just kidding, I'm kidding
In fact, if you guys ever did
If anybody ever did that song
I would give the money to something else
There you go
