Lyrics Verse 1 Are you past the point of weary? Is your burden weighing heavy? Is it all too much to carry? Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus Do you feel that empty feeling ‘Cause shame’s done all its stealing And you’re desperate for some healing? Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus Chorus He makes a way where there ain’t no way Rises up from an empty grave Ain’t no sinner that He can’t save Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus His love is strong and His grace is free And the good news is I know that He Can do for you what He’s done for me Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus And let my Jesus change your life Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, amen, amen Verse 2 Who can wipe away the tears From broken dreams and wasted years And tell the past to disappear? Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus And all the wrong turns that you would Go and undo if you could Who can work it all for your good? Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus REPEAT CHORUS Tag Amen Verse 3 Who would take my cross to Calvary? Pay the price for all my guilty? Who would care that much about me? Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus, oh Breakdown Chorus He makes a way where there ain’t no way Rises up from an empty grave Ain’t no sinner that He can’t save Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus His love is strong and His grace is free And the good news is I know that He Can do for you what He’s done for me Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus And let my Jesus change your life Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, amen, amen Tag Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, and let my Jesus change your life

Background

On April 16, 2021, Wilson released her multi-track single "My Jesus" as the lead single to her upcoming studio album. She shared the story behind the song, saying:

A few years ago, I went through a season of tragedy. My older brother, Jacob, who was my best friend and someone I looked up to in every way, lost his life in a car accident at the age of 23. That night I heard God's voice so clear and He spoke to me for the first time. He said, "Anne, are you going to trust me or not?" I answered, "Jesus, I trust you." In an instant, Jesus lifted the heavy weight off and told me that He would give me everything I need to get through this. Jesus began to show me that He was a personal God. When people hear to this song, I want them to feel that Jesus is personal; and while our stories may look different, the same Jesus that I call "My Jesus" can be your Jesus too.
