Dis soms vir my verbasend hoeveel ‘n liedjie met mens kan praat.
Sommige liedjies preek soms harder as ‘n goeie predikant!
Een van die liedjies wat in die laaste paar maande nogal hard preek in my lewe, is “My Jesus” van Todd Agnew…
Ek wil dit baie graag met julle deel…
“Which Jesus do you follow?
Which Jesus do you serve?
If Efesians says to imitate Christ…
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 at the cost of the arrogant
So which one would you like to be?
Blessed are the poor in spirit
But do we pray to be blessed with the wealth of this land?
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness
But do we ache for another taste of this world of shifting sand?
‘Cause my Jesus
Bled and died
He spent His time with thieves and sluts and liars
He loved the poor at the cost of the rich
So which one would you like 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 scared, 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 at the cost of the comfortable
So which one would you like to be?
‘Cause my Jesus
Would never be accepted at my church
The blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet
But He preaches for the hurting and despises the proud
And I think He’d prefer Beale street to this stained glass crowd
And I know that He can hear me if I cried out loud:
I wanna be like my Jesus!!!
I wanna be like my Jesus!!!
I wanna 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 wanna be like my Jesus
But I’m not sure what that means
To be like You Jesus
‘Cause You said to live like You, to love like You… and then You died, for me
Can I be like You Jesus?
I wanna be like You, Jesus
I wanna be like my Jesus!!”
Hoe lyk jou Jesus?
