JESUS ON THE WALLS
Lyrics by John Lipscomb

Verse 1
He painted streets and broken faces
Hands that begged, and eyes that lied
He sketched the world in all its colors
Every hunger people hide
They’d stop and stare, they’d shake their heads
Say whoa… man, that’s somethin’
But praise don’t quiet restless souls
And it never told him nothin’

Verse 2
He chased the next big masterpiece
Through galleries and borrowed light
Every canvas sold a moment
Every night still felt too tight
Then memory cracked like old dry paint
Something buried long ago
A Sunday pew, a wooden cross
A voice he used to know

Chorus
Now it’s just Jesus on the walls
Room to room, floor to floor
Charcoal hands and oil eyes
Watching him like never before
He don’t paint crowds or clever scenes
Don’t need the world to call
He found the face that found him first
Now it’s just Jesus on the walls

Verse 3
A crown of thorns in pencil lines
Mercy brushed in morning light
Wounds that look straight through his chest
Like they’ve known him all his life
Friends ask why he won’t move on
Why he won’t change it up
He just smiles and keeps on painting
Like he finally painted enough

Chorus
Yeah, it’s just Jesus on the walls
Hallway, kitchen, down the hall
Every failure, every prayer
Hanging there, holding him all
No price tags now, no crowded rooms
No critics left to call
Just the One who waited patient
Jesus on the walls

Bridge
Now his hands shake when he signs his name
His back don’t like the chair
Paint dries slower than it used to
So does getting anywhere
But when he shuts his tired eyes
There’s a picture coming true
Not in charcoal, not in paint
But a face he’s always knew

Final Chorus
It was just Jesus on the walls
All those years, all that time
Every sketch a conversation
Every line a lifeline
And now he lays the brushes down
Leans back against it all
Waiting on the only sight left
Not Jesus on the walls

Outro
No frame… no glass… no gallery halls…
Just Jesus.
