Explaining Jesus-Jordy Searcy

Lyrics in bio!
If there's one thing I want you to know, it's that He's even better than you think He is. This is my favorite song I've written, Explaining Jesus.
If you're gay and over 85
And you've felt for your whole life
That when God made you, he just messed up
If you've been raised a southern belle
Born and bred for show and tell
But you lie down feeling never good enough
I'm so sorry
For how it's been
We're broken artists
With broken pens
We paint our pride
And call it truth
I'm sorry no one explained Jesus to you
If you've heard a knock on your front door
But all that you found on the porch
Was a pastor that just wanted to be right
If you really want to pray to him,
But you're never sure he's listening
Cause who could forgive what you did last night
I'm so sorry
For how it's been
We're broken poets
With silly words
We paint agendas
And call it truth
I'm sorry no one explained Jesus to you
Oh
Can't you feel him in the room
Oh
All he wants is you
I'm so sorry
For all the wrong
We're broken singers
With broken songs
We paint our pride
And call it truth
I'm sorry no one explained Jesus to you
I'm sorry no one explained Jesus to you
I'm sorry no one explained Jesus to you

After coming out as trans and gay I was resentful at God and became bitter, and reserved and stopped believing that I could fit in anywhere as a gay, trans Christian, but after finding my faith again I stumbled upon this song that was 2 days ago and I have already been in tears about it several times because it turns out that my people are out there, I am not alone, thank you for making me believe that

[@hongjoongsincrediblelooksa9686]

I'm also trans and gay, but I don't think I'll ever get to a point where I'll want to go back to being a christian, because my image of God has changed drastically throughout the years. However, my heart has always gone out to those of us who needed the support of religion and it makes me really glad to see that there are safe spaces for them like this beautiful song. One of my best friends is also gay and christian and I find that really beautiful to see, because the condemnation really tears apart my heart at times. (I found this songs for one of the books I'm writing, I'm trying to look through the eyes of someone who actually longs for a relationship with God in order to better understand the people around me, but I myself have found that my life is better off without religion)

[@jordysearcymusic]

@@hongjoongsincrediblelooksa9686 Thank you so much for listening:) I'm honored!! wishing you the best on your journey!

[@micahvicars]

Jesus loves you so much more than you could ever imagine, I pray you continue to grow closer to Him everyday and let him make you a better person:)

[@justapseudonym7]

Wow I'm in tears, this is so beautiful and a graceful cry out to those that ever feel condemned! Because it's too easy to believe being a Christian means you always feel saved, but I'm out here struggling some days. Thank you

[@Shabeck1]

This is still a much needed song in today’s climate

[@victorydisplayed]

Coming across the song again❤❤ I thought I lost it. Thank you!!

[@CareySchumacher]

just heard this song for the first time when Spotify put it in a playlist for me. WOW. Amazing. Brought me to tears.

[@catherinebyrd4608]

I am not a fan of most "contemporary Christian music," but this brought tears to my eyes! So very true that so many of us grow up "in the church" and yet never really get the message of God's amazing grace through Jesus Christ. As an adult Christian, i have come to realize that we don't do a good job of "explaining Jesus."

[@sandymedeiros8414]

Me too

[@ross396]

I stumbled on this song on Spotify. I profess Jesus Christ as my Savior... and I saw the title and I heard the first lyrics and then I knew how amazing this song would be. Maybe someday I could meet you or make a cover of this... I want to write songs like this.

[@wooflethedog3756]

I'm a pansexual Christian...and I'm going through the same pain you are rn😔😔😔

[@fmoglesby7334]

Awesome

[@fromloverboy]

I'm not even religious, but this song nearly brings me to tears everytime. I was raised Christian, but unfortunately was not in raised in good churches and got out of the faith as soon as I could. I still listen to some of these songs because I enjoy the messages.

[@JeffSwopeMusic]

Maybe it's time, my friend

[@fromloverboy]

@@JeffSwopeMusic Thank you, but it will not be time for me to go back to Christianity any time soon.

[@SamT-h7w]

​@@fromloverboyA church won't save you, religion won't save you.

[@nashvillechristiansongwriters]

Jordy.... wow... SO well done, man... this isn't just an emotionally moving song... it's an important song for so many people to connect with the real love of Jesus... thank you...

[@jordysearcymusic]

Nashville Christian Songwriters wow!! Thank you so much for these kind words. I appreciate you guys' involvement and encouragement!

[@iliketoast536]

I'm sorry but i really like this song , even though i'm muslim . Idk why but for me this song write with a beautiful meaning about the connection between you and God

[@cottageglen]

Why be sorry , Muslim or not . When words speak to your ❤ they just do

[@elisemccrea3640]

Thank you for sharing! I pray Jesus can be your Saviour and friend and I hope you can feel his endless love for you, truly knowing who he is. May Allah guide you to his unconditional love and know his grace. Your deeds do not determine your outcomes and worth, brother. Jesus paid that sacrifice for you ❤ Praying for you, friend. Love, your sister in Christ.

[@taylorjanigian]

this song is amazing. i was outted by my christian school to my family and it put me through a period of time when i was convinced i wouldn’t call myself a christian, if these same people who hurt me used this label. this song puts it beautifully. we can’t let the hate of some christians let us forget jesus is a God of love. he wants us, even when his followers don’t. this song is a BEAUTIFUL reminder. thank you thank you thank you.

[@glowcat5691]

I’m sorry that happened to u, no one should have to go thru that

[@joannthomases9304]

Yes, i feel he waa very close to love of Jesus, yet probably saw many harmed by the condemnation and arrogance of some talking poorly and slandering, which really puts them right back to un loving and they cannot see either. Great song ! Real deep insight brought about out here. We certainly needed to hear this one, good man !

[@rdt999]

this is such a beautiful, well written song. You sing from the heart and always write with passion and meaning. Its my second favorite next to Seasons, which is my favorite . But for a message- this is the best! I have to see you in person soon :) oh and the end at the piano gives me chills Thank God for artists like you

[@jordysearcymusic]

rdt999 thank you so much:):) would love to meet you at a concert sometime!

[@adelianunn3187]

This song is what I turn to when I am frustrated with the Church and my call to ministry. Thank you

[@raissaalvesfontes911]

I really really love this song!! I'm cristian and I see all the time people trying to put God in a small box. But He is Love and he wants to stay together with us, no metter ours lives. Thank you very much to pass this message!

[@PhilipBowenMusic]

Hello there, Jordy. This song found me today and I'm telling you it is such a blessing and is just perfect for this day and age in the church. I appreciate ya so much

[@creativeselection6125]

This song needs to be heard🥹

[@DarlaBaltazar]

I stumbled upon your song Love & War in Your Twenties in a study playlist, and as of now, I have only listened to half of it, but my Christian neurons fired like crazy (you now have an idea what I'm studying haha) because of the words you were singing that were literally the very thing I've been wanting to share to people, and I just had to check if you were singing about what I thought you were singing about. And so you are. I love what you are doing to spread the Gospel. God bless you, brother!

[@maggiecox8254]

This is incredible. Finally something that puts into words the hurt my heart feels when people have this misconstrued image of who Jesus is because of the actions other people have carried out in His name that aren’t accurate of what Jesus stands for. I hope to never stop telling and showing people that Jesus does truly love and care for every single person on this earth. Thank you

[@rorydiane7094]

2 people were crying to so hard they couldn't see the like button so they misclicked seriously though...this song is so amazing....

[@sarahh.7038]

10 people now. I’m crying but not that hard. A coworker just sent this to me. I made sure I pressed the right button.

[@melissalang1105]

I can barely listen to this most beautiful, heart-felt song without tears! I'm so burdened for some of my closest friends and loved ones who do not know God 💕

[@chanelseine8267]

This song is so true.. Those Words. I’m realy crying right now

[@TheMariahStyle]

If you posted a guitar tutorial that would be so amazing! God has used this song to touch me and I can’t even tell you just how much. I would love to be able to play this on my guitar myself(:

[@Jibbertyjabber]

Thank you Jordy

[@emilyarnold6123]

This song is beautiful. This song just puts so many things into perspective.

[@ruthmaloba7651]

Beautiful ❤

[@AdriGoddess]

Just...thank you.These lyrics are much needed.

[@leobuckey]

It’s criminal this only has 50k views. All of need to share this with just one person. Than we’ll at least have 150k because, Inevitably we will listen to this again. And if we’re honestly we are the ones that need Jesus the most.

[@cerendoyranl4275]

I am so glad for God uses you as a whisle of his own. I am a Christian who lives in Turkey ( Türkiye) and it is so hard. We have a similar things in our Churchs , it feels like Muslim rules in the Church. But Jesus is the God of Love and mercy ❤️ Thank you for your song. God bless you

[@drewdawson3830]

I got chills. 🙏🙌❤ Praise the Lord!

[@heather_anne]

[@janellereloj]

Spotify brought me here. I love the lyrics, Jordy! It's amazing coz this week, I've been doing song writing classes. These are the kind of songs I really love. Real talk, honest words, courageous. I feel these lyrics from past experience. Do keep writing songs like these, Jordy. God definitely used you to write these powerful lyrics. Thanks :)

[@javabird4168]

We need more music like this. Thank you!

[@Londowa]

Always incredible man!

[@jordysearcymusic]

London Ward thanks for listening!!

[@Londowa]

How did you record this though??? Did the camera guy/different guy have a mic or something?

[@jordysearcymusic]

London Ward thanks for asking man!! I had a lapel mic, guitar DI, and 3 different room mics!! Lucas morton, the guy on pipe organ, is a mix/production wizard.

[@Londowa]

Daaaaaang for reallys? I just started following Lucas and I agree with the wizardry. This was really well done, bro, I can't wait to see you live again. Your music is seriously some of the most refreshing stuff I have heard in our generation today. You sing about stuff that actually matters and perform it honestly. I couldn't be happier to have been introduced to you and selfied it up.

[@Rhyken13]

This song gave me goosies! Very inspring songwriting!!! God Bless you!!!
