My Jesus

My Jesus

MY JESUS

Which Jesus do you follow? 
Which Jesus do you serve? 
If Ephesians says to imitate Christ 
Then why do you look so much like the world? 


Cause my Jesus bled and died 
He spent His time with thieves and liars 
He loved the poor and accosted the arrogant 
So which one do you want to be? 


Blessed are the poor in spirit 
Or do we pray to be blessed with the wealth of this land 
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness 
Or do we ache for another taste of this world of shifting sand


Cause my Jesus bled and died for my sins
He spent His time with thieves and sluts and liars 
He loved the poor and accosted the rich 
So which one do you want to be? 


Who is this that you follow 
This picture of the American dream 
If Jesus was here would you walk right by on the other side or fall down and worship at His holy feet 


Pretty blue eyes and curly brown hair and a clear complexion 
Is how you see Him as He dies for Your sins 
But the Word says He was battered and scarred 
Or did you miss that part 
Sometimes I doubt we'd recognize Him 


Cause my Jesus bled and died 
He spent His time with thieves and the least of these 
He loved the poor and accosted the comfortable 
So which one do you want to be? 


Cause my Jesus would never be accepted in my church 
The blood and dirt on His feet would stain the carpet 
But He reaches for the hurting and despised the proud 
I think He'd prefer Beale St. to the stained glass crowd 
And I know that He can hear me if I cry out loud 


I wanna be like my Jesus! 
I wanna be like my Jesus! 



Not a posterchild for American prosperity, but like my Jesus 
You see I'm tired of living for success and popularity 
I want to be like my Jesus but I'm not sure what that means to be like You Jesus 
Cause You said to live like You, love like You but then You died for me 
Can I be like You Jesus? 
I want to be like my Jesus

Happy Easter.
