Great, deep song by Noah Gunderson. I feel for him. He's on unsteady ground trying to make sense of it all. I've certainly been there as well.
The lines "Jesus, Jesus, there are those that say they love you/But they have treated me so damn mean" are key to this song. I've certainly felt that at times. I only became a believer in Jesus Christ a few years ago (after over 30 yrs of non-belief). One thing I can say with great assurance at this point: don't let your beliefs be dictated by other people. Christians or non-Christians - all human beings are broken and will let you down. JC is the only one without sin. The rest of us, each one of us, are wretched sinners. The Bible tells us so. BUT the thing about Christianity, unlike every other religion (and contrary to what 99% of everyone automatically assumes about Christianity), salvation comes not from our actions (how 'good' or how 'bad' we are) but rather purely from faith (i.e. belief in JC as the Son of God). ["If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God the Father raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10-9-10] He bought our sins with his blood. That's a price we could never pay ourselves b/c we are all indeed sinners.
Love this song. Noah is a seriously talented, thoughtful, and tenderhearted person.
