  • Need a Mid-Week Pick-me-up? Take a Look...

    miss dandelionby mrs dandelion

    A fellow revelifer sent me this video and I just about fell off my chair when I watched it! I thought this would be a good mid-week pick-me-up to share with you all. I'm sure some folks will use this as fodder to make fun of Christians but I hope you all see the hilarity in this video and that it makes you laugh.

    I think the lyrics are delightful and true, except I'm not so sure about the line that refers to Jesus as, "He is like a mountie, He always gets His man, and He'll zap you any way he can. zap." Maybe that is supposed to a figurative zap.  Warning: this song can get stuck in your head!

    This video kinda reminds me of the album covers from Mr. Willow's post- Christian Album Covers: The Hall of Shame .  

    If you'd like to read the lyrics for the song they're posted below:

    Jesus Is a Friend of Mine by Sonseed

    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    Jesus is my friend.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    I have a friend in Jesus.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    Jesus is my friend.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.

    He taught me how to live, my life as it should be.
    He taught me how to turn my cheek when people laugh at me.
    I've had friends before, and I can tell you that, He's one who will never leave you flat.

    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    Jesus is my friend.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    I have a friend in Jesus.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    Jesus is my friend.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.

    He taught me how to pray, and how to save my soul.
    He taught me how to praise my God and still play rock and roll.
    The music may sound different but the message is the same.
    It's just the instruments who praise His name.

    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    Jesus is my friend.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    I have a friend in Jesus.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.

    funky guitar riff

    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.

    Once I tried to run, I tried to run and hide.
    But Jesus came and found me and He touched me down inside.
    He is like a mountie, He always gets His man, and He'll zap you any way he can.
    zap.

    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    Jesus is my friend.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    I have a friend in Jesus.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    Jesus is my friend.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.

    He loves me when I'm right, He loves me when I'm wrong.
    He loves me when I waste my time by writing silly songs.
    He loves me when I'm quiet and I have nothing to say.
    He'll love me when I'm perfect if I ever get that way.
    whooo!

    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    Jesus is my friend.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    I have a friend in Jesus.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    Jesus is my friend.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    I have a friend in Jesus.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
    J-J-J-Jesus.
    Jesus is a friend of mine.
