What Would Jesus Do

Lyrics

Verse 1
They cut me off in traffic
Then smile like nothing's wrong
I feel that heat rise quick
And I know I don't belong
To that old way of reacting
To the fire in my chest
Lord, keep me on the narrow path
When I want to say the rest

Pre-Chorus
I take a breath, I bow my head
I hear Your voice before my own
When my flesh wants to win
I let Your mercy take the throne

Chorus
What would Jesus do?
What would Jesus do?
When they push, when they bruise
I still choose You
What would Jesus do?
What would Jesus do?
I want a softer heart
A faithful part (a faithful part)

Verse 2
At the table in the break room
They laugh at what I believe
And every joke feels heavy
Trying hard to get to me
I could throw back something sharper
I could match the room's dark tone
But You washed my feet with kindness
So I don't walk that road alone

Pre-Chorus
I take a breath, I bow my head
I hear Your voice before my own
When my flesh wants to win
I let Your mercy take the throne

Chorus
What would Jesus do?
What would Jesus do?
When they push, when they bruise
I still choose You
What would Jesus do?
What would Jesus do?
I want a softer heart
A faithful part (a faithful part)

Bridge
Teach me to bless and not bite back
To turn the cheek and keep my peace
When pride is loud and mercy's thin
Let Your way be what I breathe
I don't want a borrowed faith
I want a steady yes in view
In the mess and all the tension
I keep asking You

Final Chorus
What would Jesus do?
What would Jesus do?
When they push, when they bruise
I still choose You
What would Jesus do?
What would Jesus do?
I want a softer heart
A faithful part (a faithful part)

What would Jesus do?
