my jesus

This is the amazing song Bethany sang at church today...
(written by Todd Agnew)


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

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,
orbless me 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 sands

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 comfortable
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

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

My Jesus would never be accepted in my church
The blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet
But He reaches for the hurting and despises the proud
I think He'd prefer Vine Street to the stained glass crowd
But I know that He can hear me if I cry out loud

I want to be like my Jesus
I want to be like my Jesus
I want to be like my Jesus
I want to 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?

Like my Jesus
