    A friend got me a Todd Agnew a few days and I couldn't stop listening to it! So I'm going to post the lyrics to one of the songs here for your enjoyment. It's "My Jesus". Let me know either what you think of the lyrics or what you think of the artist. Any fave songs by him?

    [CENTER]My Jesus[/CENTER]

    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 thieves and ****s and liars
    He loved the poor and accosted the rich
    So which one do you want to be?

    Who is it that You follow
    This picture of the American dream
    If Jesus was here would 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

    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

    Sorry this post is so long, but it's a long song. Please reply!

    I saw him in concert once, but I'm not an avid fan of his music. Not to say it's bad, because most of it is prett good, I'm just not a fan really.
