about

From the album Shouting In The Storm, but with some crowd noise at the start and end removed

lyrics

I've been shot down, talked about
Some people scandalize my name
But here I am talking 'bout Jesus just the same

I've been knocked down, kicked around
But like a moth drawn to the flame
Here I am talking 'bout Jesus just the same

I've been rebuked for the things I've said
For the songs I've written and the life I've led
They say they don't understand me but I'm not surprised
You can't see nothing when you close your eyes

They say I'm sinful, backslidden
That I have left to follow fame
But here I am talking 'bout Jesus just the same

Yeah

You wanna talk about my life, well listen to me
You got your facts all backwards, one two three
Spreading rumors and gossip is a bad game
The only name to spread is Jesus name

I've been knocked down, kicked around
But like a moth drawn to the flame
Here I am talking 'bout Jesus brother
Here I am talking 'bout Jesus sister
Here I am talking 'bout Jesus just the same

Yeah ye-ah
​Yea-alright yeah
