New Song/ Thoughts on Jesus

God totally gave me a new song tonight! I was sitting thinking about a way that God blessed me recently but I was too proud and blind to see it. God is so good to me when he puts up with my lack of humility so I felt I needed to write a song about Him. I just kept thinking "Praise God from whom all blessings flow" from the Doxology but I didn't really want to rewrite that. My mind wandered and I started thinking about Jesus...

Earlier today I had been flipping through Philip Yancey's "The Jesus I Never Knew" at my brother's apartment. It speaks about discovering the real Jesus. Not the media's, the world's, or even "Christianity's" Jesus. While I was writing, I started trying to put into words who I thought Jesus was. What was so special about him? These are the verses I came up with:

V1
You came to earth, humble, meek
No crowns or glory did You seek
You came to serve and to live the Word
But died a death most undeserved

V2
You came with wisdom beyond our world
To be the way to heavens door.
You bore the cross, God's only son
A portrait of "Thy will be done"

I also have a prechorus but it isn't important (to this topic). All of us need to explore Christ more. Sometimes I feel we get too caught up in church and/or church politics. How do we feel about this issue or that? Which way are we supposed to vote on this particular issue?, etc.

John 14:5-6 NIV (emphasis mine)
"Thomas said to him [Jesus], "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, I AM the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Let's just focus on Jesus and try to follow Him.

Peace and love!
