Lyrics to The Real Jesus :
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
Three of my friends released really cool new records this week that you should check out:My friend Tiffany first introduced me to Downhere when I visited her in Australia. Let's see, an American visiting Australia from New Zealand hearing Canadians sing about The Real Jesus. Too funny.
Thad Cockrell, “To Be Loved” – warm, hymnlike, tunes with elegant and honest lyrics. Part Paul Simon, part Ryan Adams, part Daniel Lanois. Don’t miss this record, it’s a treasure you’ll return to over and over. (Thad is one of my favorite writers, I wrote “When The Sun Falls From Your Sky” that’s on the Special Edition of my new CD) Get it at iTunes or http://thadcockrell.com
Phil Wickham, “Heaven And Earth” – I fell in love with Phil (in a brotherly way :-) when he was out with us at the beginning of this tour. This record is full of amazing vibe, it has a great production value. Modern pop/rock worship from one of the most passionate vocalists in Christian music. iTunes or http://www.philwickham.com.
Downhere, “How Many Kings” – Well, if you followed me the last several years, you know I’ve done 4 tours with these guys and that I love them like brothers. Followingthe success of their Christmas song, How Many Kings, they decided to make a whole Christmas record. It’s full of what you’d come to expect from them – solid pop/rock with beautiful melodies and amazing voices to sing them. It’s also their most playful record. iTunes or http://www.downhere.com
