my jesus

I'm sorry for all the videos.  I am being over-run by germs right now.  

This is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists.  The footage it from The Passion and the song is 

My Jesus by 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
