I want the real JESUS

Not the one given out at churches with cute coffee mugs

I want the real jesus

Taken out of the glass

without the bubble wrap

The real JESUS who holds your heart

while dancing to the sound of your existence.

who collects your tears

but doesn’t tally your wrongs

breaks down your fears

disciplines with real love

I want the real Jesus

the one who gives rest and takes burdens.

who puts a calling in your heart and guides your feet

I want the real JESUS who is tender

but understands his child’s needs.

The who sweeps you off your feet .

and separate’s the real from the wheat

Ostracized , Commercialized, and Monetized is what I’ve seen

I want the real JESUS
