Who is Your Jesus?*
Who is your Jesus?
What did he do?
Can he look like me?
Or must he look like you?
Who is your Jesus?
What did he do?
that means no woman
can preach him to you?
Who is your Jesus?
What did he do?
that requires I worship
exactly as you?
Who is your Jesus?
What is this Cross?
if we won't proclaim it
to those who are lost?
Who is your Jesus?
Didn't he forgive all?
or does he still hold Eve
responsible for the Fall?
Who is this Jesus?
What does he claim?
that we feel comfortable
killing in his name?
Who is this Jesus?
What did he do?
that makes you so sure
heaven's only for you?
Who is this Jesus?
that I can't proclaim
all of the blessings
that occur in his name?
Who is this Jesus?
that gives you the clout
to make decisions concerning
who's in and who's out?
Doesn't your Jesus
save by grace?
Why should it matter
if he has my face?

I LOVE this! It really speaks to some things I have been grappling with as I walk this Christian walk.
