F Dm G Am F Dm G Am F Dm G Am F Dm G

People aren't confused by the gospel, They're confused by us.
Jesus is the only way to God but we are not the only way to Jesus This world doesn't need my tie, my hoodie, My denomination, or my translation of the bible They just need Jesus We can be passionate about what we believe
but we can't strap ourselves to the gospels Because we're slowing it down. Jesus is going to save the world, but maybe the best thing we can do Is just get out of the way
