This song is called "my Jesus" by Todd Agnew.
Every time I hear it, it convicts me. This God we serve fits no molds and can not be contained in any description. There are no limits to his power and he will not live up to expectations we place on him. We can never deserve this type of love, yet he asks no payment.
Hope it blesses you like it has me.
"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 diedHe 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"

what's up friend! i had forgotten all about the owls. how is life? keep on walking, jeff
I will never forget the owls. It was to mortifying for me at the time. That is also how my parents remember you. "oh yeah the owl guy"!
Life is good, busy but good.
The other night some ladies were discussing Banana bread and your voice popped into my head saying "one cup of rum"
Good times!
enjoy his faithfulness.
Give Antonia a hug from me. I miss you guys!
Hi Alissa!
Hope you still know me....It´s awesome that you have started a blog. I can understand the part about being encouraged by reading other peoples´blogs. So sometimes I think about starting one as well...we will see. This song about how Jesus really is makes me think over my motivations / actions and how I live.
Hope you will have a great day, be blessed !
