My Jesus

I want to be like my Jesus.  Do you?

My Jesus

~Todd Agnew~

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 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? 

I want to be like my Jesus
