I heard this song on my way downtown this morning and although it has a very raw feel and sound to it, It really caught my attention and as I listened into a song I had never heard I began to feel and see what artist Todd Agnew meant...
So the question that remains posed in my head is this; Which one do I want to be? and my painful cry is Oh, God don't let me be comfortable in this world, instead allow my life to be a reflection of your love.
Read the lyrics, ponder their meaning in your life - and respond to God.
Which Jesus do you follow?
Which Jesus do you serve?
If Ephesians 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 and accosted the arrogant
So which one do you want to be?
Blessed are the poor in spirit, do we pray to be blessed with the wealth of this land
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness
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?
And 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, 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 might stain the carpet
But He reached for the hurting and despises the proud
I think He’d prefer Beal St. to the stained glass crowd
But I know that He can hear me if I cry out loud
I want to be like my Jesus
