Kinder Than They Think

There's a love
That requires nothing of me
There's someone
Who makes my burden easy

Oh but no one else believes
The things He says to me
In tender whisperings

There's a man
Who holds my pieces gently
They cut His hands
And still He looks at me so sweetly

Oh but they're afraid
To see me out of the chains
He set me free

He's a rebel just like me
He hates all the rules they think I need
And there's a difference between
What they say and what I see
My Jesus
Is kinder than they think

He sides with the weak
Not the ones who claim they're right
He's easy to seek
But they're busy drawing lines

And I found eternal life
Not in religion but this guy
Who says He loves me
When I can't find a reason why

He's a rebel just like me
He hates all the rules they think I need
And there's a difference between
What they say and what I see
My Jesus
Is kinder than they think

So if I'm wrong about your son
Oh Father, let me know
He's been misunderstood
Don't want to throw another stone

At my Lover,
The Outcast,
The Murdered and the Hung
My Jesus
Is kinder than they thought
