For many months I've been receiving a word from God for the church - well, for my particular part of the church(body)here in Bangor. Its been coming and coming, piece by piece for, like I said, months now.
The book I'm currently reading(Irresistible Revolution - Shane Claiborne) is filling in spots of God's word to the church and acting as much needed confirmation for me. Because this word is possibly(I'll never be 100% sure until God tells me to speak it!)for the people here, and because God hasn't yet released me to share it with them, I can't possibly in good conscience share it in whole here. However, it has a lot to do with the real Jesus, and how we know him.
Jesus on the radio, Jesus on a late night show
Jesus in a dream, looking all serene
Jesus on a steeple, Jesus in the Gallup poll
Jesus has His very own brand of rock and roll
Watched Him on the silver screen
Bought the action figurine
But Jesus is the only name that makes you flinch
Oh, can anybody show me the real Jesus?
Oh, let Your love unveil the mystery of the real Jesus
Jesus started something new
Jesus coined a phrase or two
Jesus split the line at the turning point of time
Jesus sparked a controversy
Jesus, known for His mercy,
gave a man his sight
Jesus isn't white
Jesus loves the children, holds the lambs
Jesus prays a lot
Jesus has distinguishing marks on His hands
If anybody walks behind the Good Shepherd
If anybody holds the hands that heal lepers
And if you recognize the eyes that see forever, please...
Jesus, Jesus
Oh, can anybody show me Jesus
Oh, let Your love unveil the glory, the real Jesus
Oh, can anybody show me the real Jesus?
Oh, let Your love unveil the glory of the real Jesus, the real Jesus
