El Jesús aclamado... y desconocido

A partir de hoy --y durante toda una semana-- en muchas calles de España aclamarán con fervor a Cristo... de hecho, a muchos 'Cristos' distintos.

¿Y la semana que viene?

Si nos unimos a la procesión, ramos en mano, ¿sabemos a qué Jesús seguimos? ¿Estamos seguros de que Le conocemos de verdad?


Which Jesus do you follow,
Which Jesus do you serve?
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 sands?

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.
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.

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 Street 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 Poster Child 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 wanna be like you Jesus
I wanna be like my Jesus
