If I Was Jesus

I was listening to Christian radio recently. (I know, why do I do this to myself?). I heard a song by Paul Coleman called "If I Was Jesus." It might be one of the worst songs I've ever heard on Christian radio, and that says alot. I was looking for the lyrics online and noticed that Toby Keith also recorded it (enough said).

I also noticed that it was cowritten by Phil Madeira, who I think is an excellent songwriter. Don't let this song discourage you, if you haven't heard his music you should check it out.

Where should I start. Here are the lyrics. I'll let you decide.

If I Was Jesus, I’d have some real long hairA robe and some sandals, is exactly what I’d wearI’d be the guy at the party, turnin’ water to wineYeah me and my disciples, we’d have a real good time.

Ooh and I’d lay my life down for you (woooooh)And I show you who’s the boss (woooooh)I’d forgive you and adore youWhile I was hangin’ on your cross

If I Was Jesus.I’d have some friends that were poorI’d run around with the wrong crowd, man I’d never be boredThen I’d heal me a blind man, get myself crucifiedBy politicians and preachers, who got somethin’ to hide.

Ooh and I’d lay my life down for you (woooooh)And I show you who’s the boss (woooooh)I’d forgive you and adore youWhile I was hangin’ on your cross

If I Was Jesus.If I Was Jesus, I’d come back from the deadAnd I’d walk on some water, just to mess with your headI know your dark little secrets, I’d look you right in the faceAnd I’d tell you I love you, with Amazing Grace.

Ooh and I’d lay my life down for you (woooooh)And I show you who’s the boss (woooooh)I’d forgive you and adore youWhile I was hangin’ on your crossIf I Was Jesus.If I Was Jesus.
