Shot Down Lyrics

I've been shot down, talked about
Some people scandalize my name
But here I am talking about Jesus just the same
I've been knocked down, kicked around
But like a moth drawn to a flame
Here I am talking about Jesus just the same
I've been rebuked for the things I've said
For the songs I've written and the life I've led
They say they don't understand me but, I'm not surprised
Because you can't see nothing when you close your eyes
They say I'm sinful and backslidden
That I have left to follow fame
But here I am talking about Jesus just the same
You wanna talk about my life, hey listen to me
You got your facts all backwards, 1, 2, 3
And spreading rumors and gossip is a real bad game
The only name to spread is Jesus name
I've been shot down, kicked around
But like a moth drawn to the flame
Here I am talking about Jesus brother
Here I am talking about Jesus sister
Here I am talking about Jesus just the same
