I Love this song!

These are the lyrics to the Todd Agnew song
My Jesus

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 theives 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 on 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 might stain the carpet
But He reaches for the hurting and despises the proud
I think He'd prefer Beale St. to the stained glass crowd
And I know that He can hear me in I cry out loud

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


The Army has given us such an amazing opportunity to minister in an awesome and unique way. My Chaplain wives and I have been talking a lot lately how blessed we are to be able to show Jesus to so many people. We are not the typical "Preacher's Wife" and honestly most of us are thankful for that. Let me clarify that statement. In what other place do all the pastor's wives of all denominations get together for fellowship? We do have some of the false expectations that pastor's wives have, but it is refreshing for the soldiers & their spouses to see that yes the Chaplain and their families are humans. We should strive to make it known that everyone is welcome to come to accept Christ.

Every time I hear this song I cry. If you haven't heard it check it out...
