JESUS IS MY HERO Lyrics – Diamond District Music
I grew up idolizing the hustlers on the block
The ones with empty souls but their watches full of rocks
Thought power meant the muscle, thought respect meant being feared
Never knew the strongest man I know would die for what he healed
Some worship athletes, worship rappers, worship the reflection in the mirror
Every hero let me down, every legend disappeared
They promised me the kingdom but delivered just the chains
Left me standing in the rubble trying to piece together the pain
And I remember the King who came to serve instead of rule
Who let ’em spit upon his face and still called ’em fools
For thinking that the crown was power, not the thorns that pierced his head
That’s when I knew my hero wasn’t in the grave, he rose instead
No cape, no mansion in the hills, just scars that paid my ransom
Just the love that broke the seals
He didn’t come for glory, he came looking for the lost
And he proved that real strength shows up when they nail you to a cross
Jesus is my hero, my hero
He fought the fight I couldn’t win, couldn’t win
Jesus is my hero, my hero
He broke the chains I was trapped in, trapped in
No cage, just grace
No throne, just the cross
He traded his life for every soul that was lost
The world can keep their legends, their flesh and their zeros
My heart belongs to Jesus, ’cause Jesus is my hero
I’ve seen superheroes in the movies, seen ’em fly across the screen
But they ain’t never walked through my valley, ain’t never pulled me from the fiends
They ain’t never sat beside me in the lowest of the lows
Or whispered, “Child, I’m proud of you,” when I had nothing left to show
But Jesus did, he showed up
Not with thunder, not with strife
But with a quiet kind of courage that showed up in the middle of the night
When I was fighting demons that nobody else could see
He stepped between the fire and me, said, “Devil, answer me”
He took the hits that I deserved, absorbed the pain I earned
And gave me back a future that my past had almost burned
That’s a hero, that’s the definition, that’s the only name I raise
‘Cause every other hero fades, but he’s still standing in the blaze
Jesus is my hero, my hero
He fought the fight I couldn’t win, couldn’t win
Jesus is my hero, my hero
He broke the chains I was trapped in, trapped in
No cage, just grace
No throne, just a cross
He traded his life for every soul that was lost
The world can keep their legends, their flesh and their zeros
My heart belongs to Jesus, ’cause Jesus is my hero
Jesus is my hero
Jesus is my hero
So keep your Avengers
Keep your Justice League
Keep your superpowers and your special effects
I got a hero who walked out of his own tomb
A hero who looks at my scars and calls them beauty marks
A hero who don’t need a shield, ’cause he is the shield
Jesus is my hero
