| | My Jesus Lyrics Artist(Band):Todd Agnew
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 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 if I cry out loud I want to be like my Jesus! I want to be like my Jesus! 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 you Jesus! I want to be like my Jesus! If you find some error in My Jesus Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to Megan for submitting the lyrics. Review about My Jesus Not too harsh | Reviewer: DH | 6/25/09 This is a great song. TJ seems to have a completely different definition. Accosted actually means to "confront boldly". This definition is very appropriate to describe the way Jesus dealt with the pharisees. GreatSong! | Reviewer: Matthew | 3/30/09 This song has a wonderful conviction. That is the point of the song. It is a harsh song because of the lyrics but it is only the truth. Christianity isn't sugar coated, there is truth. If every song was "sugar coated" the truth would not be revealed. Like the songs says, I want to be like my Jesus! Great song and lyrics! Great message, horrible song | Reviewer: Angel | 3/27/09 I agree with what Votawesome said -- this song has an awesome message, but it gets lost in the horrible songwriting. You can tell that Todd had something big and important to say, but he -- or whoever wrote this -- had no idea how to express it. The music is poorly written, the song itself is poorly written, and a lot of it honestly doesn't even make sense. Good message...but NOT a good song | Reviewer: Votawesome | 1/21/09 I think the message of this song is, at the least, marginally legitimate. But there is no way that this can be considered a good piece of music. It's just a cluster of ideas sung to some inconsistent rhythm and obscurely definable melody. How did this make it to radio stations? I agree with the message, but it's a painful piece of music for which to listen. Great song...so right. | Reviewer: Cris | 8/12/08 This song is so right. We try to be like everyone else in the world except for the one that we should be like, Jesus. Its true that he walked with liars and sluts and thieves, because they were the ones who needed him most. At least thats what I believe. This song is really good and speaks truth. Unlike most others | Reviewer: Edward | 7/28/08 My mother always listens to christian radio and i have to admit that i don't prefer many of the songs that they play. But once i heard this song, i immediately realized it was more 'negative' than most. The tone is very emotionaly and almost angry, which seperated this song from most other praise and worship songs. 'My Jesus will never be accepted in my church, the blood and dirt on his feet might stain the carpet' is the kind of ironic sarcastic tone that draws me to this song. Todd Agnew goes far enough to say that he 'spent his time with thieves, and sluts, and liars'. I think it's great that Todd Agnew finally captured the real Jesus that most people don't know. Good song...but a little harsh | Reviewer: TJ | 1/21/08 I heard this song for the first time this morning on XM. I readily admit I love the message. I remembered, while listening to it, a quote one of the members of Stryper (my fav Christian metal band) made during a radio interview in the mid 80's. He said, "Christians aren't supposed to be wimps." That is very true. We are to be unashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. As I listened more to the song, I was troubled by the repeated use of the word "accosted." Webster's II Dictionary defines "accost" in this way: "to approach and address (another) in a hostile or agressive manner." Other than when Jesus cleared the moneychangers from the temple, I do not recall a "hostile or aggressive manner" he used. In my opinion, to say He accosted others makes him sound like a mean, unloving, almost tyrannical person. Is that the kind of God we serve? Putting Christ on display for the world! | Reviewer: David | 12/16/07 It's true that we as Christians are supposed to be putting Christ on display for the world to see Him through our lives. So often though we go through our daily routines looking just like the world around us. I am ALWAYS deeply moved by this song because it causes me to look at my own life and ask myself the question,"Why do I look so much like the world?". This song is among my very favorites simply because it steps on my toes and helps me to actually grow. NOT CONFORMED BUT CONSECRATED! | Reviewer: Rich Golden | 8/17/07 The lyrics to "My Jesus" are rare in this day of Christian music that is sold out to the secular marketplace. Keith Green would be pleased with this song even if he did go home with the Lord 25 years ago but the passion continues through Todd. Keith's friend Steve Camp is another likeminded musician who would find a kindred spirit with such set apart words uncommon to the 21st century CCM playlist fodder. It's sold out to Christ, not sold out to tickle ears or be friendly to the world. if asked fav song... | Reviewer: Dayna | 8/11/07 I was asked my fav song and this is it! This song hits me! It always will!
