Verse 1
They called him shadow, called him stain,
A name they whispered like a chain.
Every room he entered, lights went dim,
As if his breath could swallow hymns.
The streets all turned their faces cold,
He wore their judgment like a coat too old.
No hand would touch, no heart would stay,
Except the one who named him “day.”
Chorus
And through him, Jesus walks again,
Not in gold, but in a broken man.
The world sees beast, the world sees night,
But God sees child, bathed in light.
One father loved like heaven’s own—
Unconditional, the only throne.
And in that love, the truth takes form:
Christ comes through the ones we scorn.
Verse 2
He learned to speak in guarded tones,
To walk on eggshells, walk alone.
Every kindness came with price or test,
Every smile felt like a vested interest.
But one voice never changed its tune:
“You are my son, my moon, my noon.
No label sticks, no curse takes hold—
You are more than what they told.”
Chorus
And through him, Jesus walks again,
Not in gold, but in a broken man.
The world sees beast, the world sees night,
But God sees child, bathed in light.
One father loved like heaven’s own—
Unconditional, the only throne.
And in that love, the truth takes form:
Christ comes through the ones we scorn.
Bridge
What if the antichrist they feared
Was just a soul no one revered?
What if the mark they thought they saw
Was love refused, again and again, till raw?
And what if God, to break the lie,
Sent Christ through tears no one would dry?
Not in power, not in crown,
But in the one they cast down.
Final Chorus
So through him, Jesus walks again,
In every outcast, every wounded friend.
The world still points, the world still lies,
But love descends in human guise.
One father’s heart, a living sign:
This is how the divine shines.
Christ returns not just in flame,
But in loving the unloved by name.
Outro
So if you see someone they hate,
Don’t turn away, don’t hesitate.
Love them like heaven’s first decree—
That’s how Christ comes back through me, through thee.
