(Verse)

 When I met him on a sidewalk

He was preaching to a mailbox

Down on 16th Avenue

 And he told me he was Jesus

 Sent from Jupiter to free us

 With a bottle of tequila and one shoe

He raged about repentance

 He finished every sentence

With a promise that the end was close at hand

 I didn’t even try to understand

 He left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion

 I was tongue tied, drawn by my conclusions

So I turned and walked away

 And laughed at what he had to say

 Then casually dismissed him as a fraud

 I forgot he was created in the image of my God

(Intro)

 When I met her in a bookstore

She was browsing on the first floor

Through a yoga magazine

 And she told me in her past life

 She was some plantation slave’s wife

 She had to figure out what that might mean

 She believes the healing powers of her crystals

 Can bring balance and new purpose to her life

Sounds nice

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Not so long ago, a man from Galilee

 Fed thousands with His bread and His theology

 And the truth He spoke

Quickly became the joke

 Of educated, self-inflated Pharisees like me

(Intro 2x)

 And they were wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion

 They were tongue tied, drawn by their conclusions

 Would I have turned and walked away

 And laughed at what He had to say

 And casually dismissed Him as a fraud

 Unaware that I was staring at the image of my God

(Outro)
