The story behind “We All Need Jesus” by Danny Gokey and Koryn Hawthorne

Story behind the song “We All Need Jesus”:

“‘We All Need Jesus’ reminds me that I’m a mess, you’re a mess, we’re all a mess in need of grace. Jesus has the power to change our hearts, transform our lives, and help us love others. Together, we can heal the world by loving like Him,” Gokey concedes. “I hope this song is a reminder for everyone that we are all human and need help from Jesus — it’s what unites us.”

Lyrics to “We All Need Jesus”:

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

We're so quick to point a finger
We judge things from our point of view
The things that we say, the trouble it makes
It hurts you and it hurts me too
This is such a fallen world we live in
It's really not the way it's supposed to be
What if we could see each other different?
It'd probably change everything

We're all broken people, don't we all need Jesus?
Every moment of our lives, 24, 3-6-5
Our human is equal, don't we all have our weaknеss? (Hey, hey)
Everybody makes mistakes, everybody needs that grace
We all need Jesus, mm
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Don't we all need Jesus?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, we all, we all, we all, we all

Everybody needs a Savior
Even the ones who think they don't
We've got stuff we hide (hide), deep down inside (inside)
There's so much that we don't show (mm)

Yeah, it's just a wounded world we live in (a wounded world)
It's really not the way it's supposed to be
(The way it's supposed to be)
Isn't that the beauty of redemption? (Redemption)
It changes everything

We're all broken people, don't we all need Jesus? (Yeah)
Every moment of our lives (our lives), 24, 3-6-5
Our human is equal, don't we all have our weakness? (Hey)
Everybody makes mistakes (everybody makes mistakes)
Everybody needs that grace
We all need Jesus
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Don't we all need Jesus?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

From the beggar to the rich man (oh, yeah)
From the prisoner to the preacher, oh-oh
All I know is we, all need Jesus
All I know is we, all need Jesus
Every man and every woman (oh, yeah yeah)
Every city, every nation (every nation)
All I know is we, all need Jesus (all I know)
All I know is that

We're all broken people, don't we all need Jesus? (Ooh yeah yeah)
Every moment of our lives, 24, 3-6-5
Our human is equal, don't we all have our weakness? Hey
Everybody makes mistakes (everybody makes mistakes)
Everybody needs that grace
We all need Jesus
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Don't we all need Jesus?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
We all, we all, we all, we all

We need Jesus, need Jesus
Everybody in the world need Jesus
We need Jesus, need Jesus
Everybody in the world need Jesus
