which is the site for the new Todd Agnew album and they have all the songs available there so you can hear them. So I listened and wrote down the words, and they are awesome: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?
Cuz 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?
Cuz 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.
Cuz 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?
Cuz 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 wanna be like my Jesus,
I wanna be like my Jesus,
I wanna be like my Jesus,
I wanna 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 wanna be like my Jesus
But I'm not sure what that means
to be like you Jesus
cuz 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.

I heard this song Thursday night at the Creation Festival in PA. By the time it was over, I had tears streaming down my face...
The whole thought is something I have been struggling with but could not put into words.
I too heard this at Creation. Awsome! Wake up church!
Yep - the first time I heard it I was driving to work. Good thing I was close to my school, 'cause as I listened I couldn't see through the tears......
