Sometimes the message of who Jesus really is comes from the strangest of places. But we can all agree that Southern rock-inspired singer Zach Williams’ ‘Jesus Loves’ lyric video is the best at proclaiming Christ’s love. 

‘Jesus Loves’ is a song for the weary, the wandering, the ones who wonder if grace still holds. It is a come-home call for the rebels and the runaways, the brokenhearted and the barely hanging on, the ones who think they’ve strayed too far. I think we all feel these things at one point or another in our lives. And yet, this is the gospel—love poured out, mercy that doesn’t measure, grace that doesn’t give up.

The lyric video unfolds like a whisper of hope that sings louder than shame. The words tell of the prodigal still welcomed home, the outcast still chosen, the shattered still seen. It’s not about earning, striving, or proving. It’s about a love that has already decided—already spoken over us by the blood of Christ.

So come on in the doors is open 
And the savior’s arms are too
The table’s set, a seat is waiting
And he saved it just for you 

Sometimes, we feel like we need to get our act together before we can come to Jesus. But that’s simply not true. Nor do we need to be worried that we are enough, but we are grateful there is an invitation to His table–a seat He saved just for you. No more running. No more hiding. Just the overwhelming reality that you are already someone Jesus loves. This is the heartbeat of the gospel.

So no more running 
No more hiding  
Come on in and you will find
You don’t have to be enough

And when the refrain rises—Yes, Jesus loves you—it echoes through the caverns of every aching soul. The ones who’ve doubted, the ones who’ve wrestled, the ones who’ve fallen and thought they couldn’t get back up. Love reaches even here. Especially here.

So come home.
