    Lyrics
    Well, I shook hands with the devil
    Down on the south side
    And he bought us both a drink
    With a pad and a pencil sat by his side
    I said, "Tell me what you think"
    I've been looking for my savior, looking for my truth
    I even asked my shrink
    He brought me down to his level
    Said, "Son, you're not special
    You won't find him where you think"
    You won't find him down on Sunset
    Or at a party in the hills
    At the bottom of the bottle
    Or when you're tripping on some pills
    When they sold you the dream you were just 16
    Packed a bag and ran away
    And it's a crying shame you came all this way
    'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
    And it's a crying shame you came all this way
    'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
    Took a sip of his whiskey
    Said, "Now that you're with me
    Well, I think that you should stay"
    Yeah, I know you've been busy
    Searching through the city
    So let me share the way
    I know I'm not your savior
    Know I'm not your truth
    But I think we could be friends
    He said "Come down to my level
    Hang out with the devil
    Let me tell you, in the end...
    You won't find him down on sunset
    Or at a party in the hills
    At the bottom of the bottle
    Or when you're tripping on some pills
    When they sold you the dream you were just 16
    Packed a bag and ran away
    And it's a crying shame you came all this way
    'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
    And it's a crying shame you came all this way
    'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
    And that is when I knew that it was time to go home
    And that is when I realized that I was alone
    And all the vibrant colors from the lights fade away
    And I don't care what they say
    You won't find him down on sunset
    Or at a party in the hills
    At the bottom of the bottle
    Or when you're tripping on some pills
    When they sold you the dream you were just 16
    Packed a bag and ran away
    And it's a crying shame you came all this way
    'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
    I won't find him down on sunset
    Or at a party in the hills
    At the bottom of the bottle
    Or when I'm tripping on some pills
    When they sold me the dream I was just 16
    Packed my bag and ran away
    And it's a crying shame I came all this way
    'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
    And it's a crying shame I came all this way
    'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA

    "Jesus In LA” is about moving to California and leaving my friends and family behind to pursue my dream. When I first got to LA I thought that I was going to finally find the happiness that I had always been looking for. Not long after I arrived, I signed my first record deal. Got dropped. Lost friends. Spent all my money… and had to move back in with my parents. It was then that I realized the thing that I was looking for most was in front of me the whole time. My true friends and family. Even at my lowest point, being back home with my family is what made me truly happy. The song isn’t a literal take on religion or about Jesus at all. It’s about searching for hope and happiness and realizing those things aren’t always where you think you’ll find them.

    Hello, Alec Benjamin. I am a 12 year old Turkish girl who follows you with great admiration. As a fan, I have a request for you. Please organize concerts in different countries of the world. Coming to Turkey would make me and many Turkish fans happy. And I think it makes others happy when they are in different countries. I know, you probably won't see this comment. But if it happens to you, know that you have a lot of fans who love you very much and I am one of those fans.
    I want to see you in front of me!

      Paper crown was my first song that came out after I subscribed, that’s when he had 10k subs and everyone said he is sooo underrated. This is why I find it kinda funny when people say that now, with him having 160 times as much subs now :P

    Alec is my favourite singer now and will always be ✨. The reasons are
    1)He is a humble and a hard working person.
    2)His voice is innocent.
    3)His music is great, pleasant to hear and always with different good messages for the audience around the world.
    4) Unlike other singers he doesn't chase for fame and money.
    5) He's clean with no piercing and tattoos.
    6)He is underated, he deserves more love and support.

    Lyrics:
    Well, I shook hands with the devil
    Down on the south side
    And he bought us both a drink
    With a pad and a pencil sat by his side
    I said "Tell me what you think"
    I've been looking for my savior, looking for my truth
    I even asked my shrink
    He brought me down to his level
    Said "Son, you're not special, you won't find him where you think"
    You won't find him down on sunset
    Or at a party in the hills
    At the bottom of the bottle
    Or when you're tripping on some pills
    When they sold you the dream you were just 16
    Packed a bag and ran away
    And it's a crying shame you came all this way
    'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
    And it's a crying shame you came all this way
    'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
    Took a sip of his whiskey
    Said, "Now that you're with me, well, I think that you should stay"
    Yeah, I know you've been busy
    Searching through the city
    So let me share the way
    I know I'm not your savior
    Know I'm not your truth
    But I think we could be friends
    He said "Come down to my level, hang out with the devil
    Let me tell you, in the end..."
    You won't find him down on sunset
    Or at a party in the hills
    At the bottom of the bottle
    Or when you're tripping on some pills
    When they sold you the dream you were just 16
    Packed a bag and ran away
    And it's a crying shame you came all this way
    'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
    And it's a crying shame you came all this way
    'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
    And that is when I knew that it was time to go home
    And that is when I realized that I was alone
    And all the vibrant colors from the lights fade away
    And I don't care what they say
    You won't find him down on sunset
    Or at a party in the hills
    At the bottom of the bottle
    Or when you're tripping on some pills
    When they sold you the dream you were just 16
    Packed a bag and ran away
    And it's a crying shame you came all this way
    'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
    I won't find him down on sunset
    Or at a party in the hills
    At the bottom of the bottle
    Or when I'm tripping on some pills
    When they sold me the dream I was just 16
    Packed my bag and ran away
    And it's a crying shame I came all this way
    'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
    And it's a crying shame I came all this way
    'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA

I don’t believe in lies of this world because i’ve found the truth, Jeshua Hamashiach. God is like the sun, you cannot look at it, but without it you cannot look at anything else. When the sun shines it shines for everyone and God is for everyone. As a followers of Christ we are like the moon, we have to reflect His light to this dark world so that others can see.

      I don't know exactly what you're going through but if you're broken, lost, feeling hopeless and empty, just cry out to Jesus and he WILL come through. If he did that for me what makes u think he wont do the same for u. 😊❤
