No need for fancy color, my answer is as plain as black and white.
I wanna be like my J-E-S-U-S!!!

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 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

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 would stain the carpet
But He reaches for the hurting and despised 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!
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

This song has really inspired me over the past year or so...
I have found myself a hiding place,
I have found myself a secret space
In the shelter of Amighty's love,
In the safety of the Saviour's arms.

Chorus:
I will run to the hiding place, I will run to the hiding place, draw me ever closer to look upon Your face, I will run to the hiding place.

Verse2:
I have found myself a hiding place. I have found myself a secret space. In the refuge of the Father's care, in the cleansing blood of Jesus there

Bridge:
Though my fears may overwhelm me and troubles, they surround. Though the wind rise up to take me my hiding place is already found.

Verse3:
I have found myself a hiding placeI have found myself a secret space
In the shelter of Amighty's love
In the safety of the Saviour's arms

Oh, to look upon Your face, I will run to the hiding place.

Where or in whom does your hope lie?
What or whom are you building your life upon? A strong and solid foundation, or one that could fail on you at any time?
IN CHRIST ALONE MY HOPE IS FOUND
HE IS MY ALL IN ALL AND SOLID GROUND
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my ALL IN ALL
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
So... here I am... safe in the Father's hand. Here I am... with a firm foundation. Here I am... with a HOPE.
Where are you? I'd love for you to be right here with me...
Trust and obey, for there's no other way, to be HAPPY IN JESUS , than to trust and obey...

Shh.... can you keep a secret?
Well.... ok... even if you can't, you can see these pics:
There is this girl named Heather that thinks we are going to get married next May. She has the date picked out and everything.
So tonight after Kids Crusade, someone asked me "So who got married?". I looked around the parking lot (knowing that someone had to have done something to my car), and there it was, my car decorated. The pictures can tell the rest...

I will put the links to the Kids Crusade Picture Slideshows on here later.... the Sony Image Station web page is down right now...
By the way.... Heather and I are NOT getting married. Something tells me my car was not her doing either... I dunno. I am suspicious of LOTS of things lately.
The "Just Married" part washed off quite easy... I had to get it off so my neighbors don't start wondering... The white lettering on the otherhand didn't really come off that easy.
