Verse 1AmGF
Which Jesus do you follow?
AmGF
Which Jesus do you serve?
AmGF
If Ephesians says to imitate Christ,
AmGF
Why do you look so much like the world?
Chorus:
CF
Cause my Jesus bled and died
AmGF
He spent His time with thieves and liars
CF
He loved the poor and accosted the arrogant
AmGF
So which one do you want to be?
Verse 2:
AmGF
Blessed are the poor in spirit
AmGF
Or do we pray to be blessed with the wealth of this land?
AmGF
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness
AmGF
Or do we ache for another taste of this world of shifting sand?
Chorus 2:
CF
Cause my Jesus bled and died for my sins
AmGF
He spent His time with thieves and liars
CF
He loved the poor and accosted the rich
AmGF
So which one do you want to be?
Bridge:
FGAm
Who is this that you follow?
FGAm
This picture of the American dream
FGAm
If Jesus was here would you walk right by on the other side
FGAm
Or fall down and worship at His holy feet
FGAm
Holy, yeah...
Verse 3:
AmGF
Pretty blue eyes and curly brown hair and a clear complexion
AmGF
Is how you see Him as He dies for your sins
AmGF
But the Word says He was battered and scarred or do you miss that part?
AmGF
Sometimes I doubt we’d recognize Him
Chorus 3:
CF
Cause my Jesus bled and died
AmGF
He spent His time with thieves and the least of these
CF
He loved the poor and accosted the comfortable
AmGF
So which one do you want to be?
Chorus 4:
CF
Cause my Jesus would never be accepted in my church
AmGF
The blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet
CF
But He reaches for the hurting and despises the proud
CF
And I think He’d prefer Beale St. to the stained glass crowd
CF
And I know that He can hear me if I cry out loud
Outro:
C
I want to be like my Jesus
F
I want to be like my Jesus
C
I want to be like my Jesus (hey yeah)
F
I want to be like my Jesus (oh oh ohhhh)
CF
Not a poster child for American prosperity, but like my Jesus
CF
You see I’m tired of living for success and popularity
C
I want to be like my Jesus
F
But I’m not sure what that means to be like You, Jesus
CF
Cause You said to live like You, love like You but then You died for me
C
Can I be like You Jesus?
C
I want to be like you Jesus
C
I want to be like my Jesus
