Todd agnew which jesus

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 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 Holy, yeah 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 and I think He'd prefer Beale St.

My Jesus song meanings. Add Your Thoughts 3 Comments. General Comment I love this song because I feel the lyrics are very symbolic of many people's relationships with Christ now. Jesusgal on March 21, Link. No Replies Log in to reply. There was an error. General Comment I agree Jesusgal. Just take the first verse: "Which Jesus do you follow? If Ephesians says to imitate Christ Then why do you look so much like the world? I love this song because it so perfectly reflects my thoughts on the sympotms of christians today, and I include myself in that generalization.

I must say though, that my favorite line is: "Cause my Jesus would never be accepted in my church The blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet" because it seems that if we aren't busy mirroring the world, then we are so caught up with the grandeur of religio that we fail to see that Christ wants us to witness to more than the pretentious snobs who have too much in their lives to want to see him.

Truth be told, we are all a reflection, as Agnew's CD Title says, but what are you? Do you look more like the world than like Jesus? In a book, the hero is fairly easy to identify. In life, Todd Agnew found it a little harder. God, however, held a different view. Being the author of the story, God began to write a new understanding for Todd as well. God started a new chapter by introducing a loving wife and children into the equation.

This story is about God; He is the Prime Mover. Everything else is moving in relation to Him. So while Agnew already knew how to love, he now had to learn how to be loved. He had to learn to receive from the Giver, to be consoled by the Comforter, to be encouraged by the Hope. The act of receiving recognizes the worth of the One giving. It reveals what happens when an artist who always writes solo decides to co-write with a handful of gifted, imaginative colleagues.

But most of all, it reveals what happens when a man gets his fundamental understanding of the way we relate to God rocked to the core. He is the active party. Much of this understanding started when Agnew bought his first house, moved back to Texas, and became husband, and stepfather all in the course of a weekend.

I have to learn to receive that same love from You. How could you love me in my shame? I fell, God. Still I hear you call my name. This I believe. Love is a lot about You. Agnew is well-known for his voice, and the gravitas it brings to his music. This time around, though, he brings a remarkable vibrancy born from his desire to collaborate.
