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
cuz 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?
cuz 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 ~ cuz 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
~ Todd Agnew, My Jesus

Are you sure he exist?
Are you sure he's god?
Why do you you believe he's god?
Are you a bad girl, if he doesn't exist?
Be a good person... anywhere
Ya know, despite the darkness that i have lived through for over six years, i still believe in God and am sure that He exists. Unbelievers don't understand this, how can you believe in something you can't see, hear, feel, touch? But what knowledge they lack, i have. No, i haven't seen God face to face, but i see Him at work all around me every day. i haven't audibly heard His voice, but i used to hear His ideas, thoughts, and urgings all the time, 24/7. i felt Him in a way that is more personal and real than with any human i have ever met. i can't touch him yet, but He used to touch me with whispers of love. Why talk about spirituality when one can interact with the Spirit that created all, knows all, loves all??? i know that i know that i know that He is I Am because i have experienced Him; but if He doesn't exist it doesnt' make me a bad person to try to love others, treat them as i would like to be treated, and try to improve the world around me. In fact the Bible teaches that God is the definition of, the originator of, good, so logically speaking one cannot be good without Him. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..." i am not capable of doing good on my own, i am fallable, i am sinful, "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." The only way i get through each day is by being secure in the knowledge that He loves me and one day i will see Him face to face, touch His scars, hear His voice, and be perfected. He'll wipe the tears from my eyes, wrap me in His arms, and whisper that He loves me in my ear. Yes, that's the only thing that gets me through each day.
