Jesus Are You Out There

Lyrics

V1: Jesus, are you out there
Tell me do you still care
I don't know what to say
I never felt this way before
I used to be so sure of
Your absolutely pure love
I don't know what has changed
But life's just not the same anymore

Cho: Jesus, if you care
Jesus, let me know you're there

V2: Don't know exactly when I started
Feeling broken-hearted
Like someone close to me left me suddenly alone
I don't want to doubt you
Don't want to be without you
If you give me a sign
Maybe I can find my way home

Cho: Jesus, I'm scared
Jesus, are you still there?

V3: Jesus, if you hear me
Show me you're near me
Whisper in my ear so I know you're here again
I need a reason
To keep believing
You're still here with me
And you will always be my best friend

Cho: Jesus, hear my prayer
Jesus, are you still there?
