Biography:
Spend any time talking with minister/artist Matt Papa, and one thing becomes immediately apparent: He’s clearly a man on a mission.
Eschewing the typical small talk that usually happens before a conversation really gets started, Papa wastes no time digging into the heart of the matter. As an artist who isn’t interested in simply making music for music’s sake, Papa writes songs that center around God’s word and doesn’t consider his job done until the lyrics have taken permanent residence in a listener’s gray matter.

This one is a song written by a great Christian Musician, Matt Papa.
If you don't understand any of it just send me a message and I can explain it for you.
Also I'm not too sure about the outro but you can try to figure it out, but the rhythm
is right everywhere else.
Capo 2nd fret:
Verse 1:
C#m E A E
You won't ever hear this song on Christian radio
A C#m B A#/C
Cause the Jesus that I serve is not safe
C#m E
He'll say take Your cross and die
A E
So if you want a comfy life
A B A E Esus E
Stay away from Jesus
Verse 2:
C#m E A E
He says narrow is the gate and hard is the way
A C#m B A#/C
Hate the ones you love and love the ones you hate
C#m E
Eat my flesh and drink my blood
A E
But if your works are good enough
A B A E Esus
Stay away from Jesus
Chorus:
A E
O let the children come
B C#m
O let the prideful run
A E B
The Lord, The Lord is His name
A E
He has died the world to save
A# C#m F#
But to believe is to obey
A B C#m
So come or stay away
Verse 3:
C#m E A E
He says be either hot or cold, you can't serve God and gold
A C#m B A#/C
Indifference is the road that leads to hell
C#m E
So if you're happy in your stuff
A E
and if 10%'s enough
A B A E Esus E
Stay away from Jesus
Bridge:
G# C#m
He says come follow me
F# B
lose your life and be free
E A
you must die to believe
D# G#m A/G# E
like a child come and sees
A E B E
He draws every line in love, He is good and He is just
A C#m B G#
And the words He speaks are meant to set you free
A E
But if you think you are the Way
A E
And in control you have to stay
A B A E Esus E
Then stay away from Jesus
Chorus:
A E
O let the children come
B C#m
O let the prideful run
A E B
The Lord, The Lord is His name
A E
He has died the world to save
A# C#m F#
But to believe is to obey
