GenAudio - why follow Jesus?... Lyrics

[Intro] (Spoken over beat, soft reverb)
Yeah... this is my story, my testimony.
Why follow Jesus? Lemme tell you why.
(Beat kicks in)

[Verse 1] (Rap flow, steady and rhythmic)
I was just a kid, four or five years old,
Saw my mama cryin' but her faith was bold.
Tears on the pages, hands in the air,
In the middle of the storm, she found peace there.

Had to know, had to see, who this God could be,
Middle school, my friend said, "Come to church with me."
Day one, man, I felt that spark,
Day two, me and mom gave Him our hearts.

But I still didn't get what it meant to stay,
Had the fire, but the world pulled me away.
Visions and talks, man, I heard His voice,
But the battles came loud, had to make a choice.

[Chorus] (Melodic, strong hook, with electric guitar chords)
Why follow Jesus? Lemme tell you why,
He found me broken, didn't pass me by.
Through the fire, through the pain, through the darkest nights,
He gave me strength, now I'm shining bright.

What I lost, He gave it back,
Took my burdens, broke the past.
Now I stand, now I see,
Following Jesus, it's all of me!

[Verse 2] (Rap flow, heavy drums, rising intensity)
Uncle passed, man, I lost my way,
Mental battles, fear every day.
Living in chains, addiction's grip,
Didn't know how much deeper I'd slip.

2020 hit, world shut down,
Family split, everything crashed down.
Men's group came, gave it one last shot,
A brother stepped in, told me what I got.

Said, "There's a better way, you don't have to stay,
In the cycle, in the shame, bro, make the change."
Terrified, but I took that leap,
If this don't work, man, I'm lost too deep.

[Bridge] (Emotional breakdown, softer with deep bass)
First year, man, it cut so deep,
Healing hurts, but He planted seeds.
He told me, "Son, what you lost, I'll give,
Stay with Me, just learn to live."

Now I walk in freedom, chains undone,
A true man of God, not who I was.
Helping brothers, guiding the way,
Jesus, I trust You, come what may!

[Outro] (Big finish, layered vocals, powerful beat with a final electric guitar solo)
Why follow Jesus? Now you know why,
He took my pain, turned it into light.
No regrets, just grace and peace,
I'm running with Him for eternity!
