I Love You Jesus
Trisha Paytas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember when I hated my life
And I said I didn't want to die
But I did, now I know the reason why
(I'm so alive)

It's because of the sky
Can you guess it right now?
Are you wondering how?
I found love so fast
And I know this love will last
How do I know?
How do I know?

He's with me from the start
He was always in my heart
Do I straight for, here you are
Jesus my superstar

I love you, Jesus
I love you, Jesus
You give me reason
You give me hope
Jesus never let me go

You can act bad, or you can be good
You can be from privilege or straight from the hood
But Jesus loves you, this we know
Never leave your side and he'll lead you home

He's with me from the start
He was always in my heart
Do I straight for, here you are
Jesus my superstar

I love you, Jesus
I love you, Jesus
You give me reason
You give me hope
Jesus never let me go

There was a time I overdosed
And I was lifted, not by the ambulance
But by the holy ghost

He's with me from the start
He was always in my heart
Do I straight for, here you are
Jesus my superstar

I love you, Jesus
I love you, Jesus
You give me reason
You give me hope
Jesus never let me go

I love you, Jesus
I love you, Jesus
You give me reason




You give me hope
Jesus never let me go

(I'm so alive)
I am now filled with vitality


It's because of the sky
The altered state I found myself in influenced me positively


Can you guess it right now?
Can you infer what it is from my clue?


Are you wondering how?
Are you curious about what led me to feel this way?


I found love so fast
I encountered love at a swift pace


And I know this love will last
I have no doubt that this love will not dissipate

What convinces me of this?


How do I know?
How certain am I of this?

But by the holy ghost
This uplifting experience was due to the Holy Spirit's power
