How Can They Live Without Jesus? Lyrics by Keith Green

The Keith Green Collection

1978

[Verse 1]
How can they live without Jesus?
How can live without God's love?
How can they feel so at home down here
When there's so much more up above?
[Chorus 1]
Throwin' away the things that matter
They hold on to things that don't
The world has gone crazy but soon maybe
A lot more are gonna know
[Verse 2]
For maybe they don't understand it
Or maybe they just haven't heard
Or maybe we're not doin' all we can
Living up to His Holy Word
[Chorus 2]
'Cause phonies have come and wrongs been done
Even killing in Jesus' name
And if you've been burned, here's what I've learned
The Lord's not the one to blame
[Bridge]
For He's not just a religion with steeples and bells
Or a salesman who will sell you
The things you just want to hear
For His love was such
That He suffered so much
To cause some of us just to follow, follow
[Verse 3]
So many laughing at Jesus
While the funniest thing that He's done
Is love this whole stubborn, rebellious world
While their hate for Him just goes on
[Chorus 3]
And love just like that will bring Him back
For the few He can call His friends
The ones He's found true who've made it through
Enduring until the end
The ones He's found true who've made it through
Enduring until the end
