He Already Knows (John 2:23–25)

Lyrics

Title: He Already Knows (John 2:23–25)

[Verse 1 – Solo]
They saw the miracles, crowds got hype,
Passover night and the city on sight.
Everybody screamin’, “Yeah, that’s my King!”
Only ‘cause they watched what His power could bring.
Same way we run when the blessings drop,
But fade to black when the feelings stop.
John 2:23, they believed off the show,
But You look past the noise, to the heart down low.

[Pre-Chorus – Choir]
You see my hands up, but You see my fear,
You hear my song, but You hear my tears.
I can’t front for the One on the throne,
‘Cause John 2 said You already know.

[Chorus – Youth Choir]
You don’t need nobody to tell You who I am,
You know what’s in my heart, You know what’s in this man.
You don’t trust my hype, You test my soul,
John 2 say You already know.
I can’t fake faith just to ride Your wave,
You see past the clout to the heart You gave.
No mask, no show,
You already know.

[Verse 2 – Solo + Choir Echo]
Friends see the posts, think I’m doin’ fine, (so fine)
But You see the doubts that sit in my mind. (my mind)
Smile for the ‘Gram, pain off-screen,
Tryna be holy but I’m stuck in between.
Jesus didn’t “commit” to the crowd that day,
‘Cause He knew who was real and who’d walk away.
You know if I’m here just to get that fix,
Or really down to carry this cross I pick.

[Hook – Call & Response]
Leader: You know when I’m frontin’, when I ain’t true,
Choir: You already know what’s inside me too.
Leader: You know when I love You, when I just want stuff,
Choir: You already know when my “praise” ain’t enough.
Leader: Still You keep callin’ me close, not far,
Choir: ‘Cause You know what I am and still love who You are.

[Bridge – Soften then build]
Search me, Lord, don’t let me play,
Take all the fake church games away.
I don’t wanna be crowd-deep, heart cold,
I want that real life only You can hold.

[Bridge Tag – Scripture Flip]
“Jesus knew all men,” You see right through,
But You still bled out for a kid like me too.
You “needed not” man’s testimony,
So let my life speak that You’re my only.

[Vamp – Drive]
Choir: You know, You know, You know my heart,
Leader: Still You love me, give me a fresh start.
Choir: You know, You know, all of my ways,
Leader: Teach me to love You more than the praise.
Choir: No mask, no show, just truth and grace,
Leader: You already know—still You give me space.

[Final Tag – Unison]
No more livin’ for the crowd and the lighted stage,
You know what’s in my heart—so I give You all my days.
