“Jesus,” I prayed silently, “please fix it so that my turn to read won’t come around.”
And then the nun called my name, but before I stood I thought, “I’ll bet you think this is funny, huh, Jesus?”
I stood and stared at the sentence assigned to me and believed that, through some miracle, I would suddenly be able to read it and not be humiliated. I stood there and stared at it until the children started giggling and snickering and Sister told me to sit down.”
“Jesus, I told meself, harden the fuck up. She heard me say that once, Mum. To me little cousin out by the laundry where he was bawling, his knee bleeding a tiny bit. She had that disgusted look on her face. What? I said. I didn’t do nothin. You’re no better than your father, she said. Listen to you, Jaxie, you sound just like him. I didn’t talk to her for three days.”

“Jesus, I’ve suffered in silence, and you’ve
took away my pain. I come running back to
you to show me the way. If I can’t kiss her,
then what can I do? The tastes of her lips
still linger, if she only knew. Lord, my hands,
wrap them around her heart, let her see any
promises I made; she won’t live without.”
“Jesus, I’ve Suffered in Silents
These years I was lonely, but it’s clear
I want her only. This love is getting the
best of me, all of me, baby, can’t you see?
the touch of her skin. Where do I begin?
This love’s a place I’ve never known.
Dear Lord, thank you, for this mountain I
could climb. Lost in a haze of doubt, feeling
without, now, love has filled my heart.
I found my way, out of the storm.
{CHORUS}
Jesus, I’ve suffered in silents, and you’ve
took away my pain. I come running back to
you to show me the way. If I can’t kiss her,
then what can I do? The tastes of her lips
still linger, if she only knew. Lord, my hands,
wrap them around her heart, let her see any
promises I made; she won’t live without.
Lord, you’ve answered my prayers so many
times, through heart break, broken pieces that
fell astray, you’ve dried my tears, put them
together, again. Oh, my Lord.
I’ve prayed for her, now’s she’s here
can you wash away my fears? There’s
been so many times, my hearts left
empty, no matter how much of me I give.
The weight on my heart is lifted with
the touch of her hand, only you dear
Lord, can understand. Thinking of this love
brings me to my knees. Yet, this
blanket of my past won’t keep my mind
at ease.
{CHORUS}
Jesus, I’ve suffered in silents, and you’ve
took away my pain. I come running back to
you to show me the way. If I can’t kiss her,
then what can I do? The tastes of her lips
still linger, if she only knew. Lord, my hands,
wrap them around her heart, let her see any
promises I made; she won’t live without.
There’s strength on top of this mountain
you gave me to climb; I won’t be torn up
anymore. I watch her eyes follow me wherever
I go. So clear, and kind, Lord, I’m letting you
know. This love’s getting the best of me.
What a wonderful feeling when she said, my
eyes are a different kind of blue, oh baby.
When she looks at me that way, it feels like
a love I always knew. A dream come true!
{Instrumental}
The stains of my tattered past, kept to myself,
while the weight of my life bears down. I’ve
crossed a thousand miles, fell along the way,
everything I’ve learned brought me to this day.
There’s no questions no doubt. Lord, there’s
times It’s me who stands in my way.
The reflection of scars still healing, dear Jesus
you’ll find me knelling. While the darkness on
the walls fade away. Again, I lift my arms, and
reach up to pray.
{CHORUS}
Jesus, I’ve suffered in silents, and you’ve
took away my pain. I come running back to
you to show me the way. If I can’t kiss her,
then what can I do? The tastes of her lips
still linger, if she only knew. Lord, my hands,
wrap them around her heart, let her see any
promises I made; she won’t live without.
Oh, if I can’t kiss her then what will I do?
Baby! if I can’t kiss you then what will I do?

“Jesus illustrated the principle of wu-wei beautifully in his Nature Sermon. The wild birds neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, yet they are fed; the lilies of the field neither toil nor spin, yet they are clothed. Wu-wei is not about being lazy and doing nothing. Rather, it is about following the way of nature and not wasting energy. It is about the beauty of "letting it be"!”

“Jesus In My dreams
I’ve seen you in my dreams vivid and bright
colors never seen before, they wrap around my heart
never asking a question your eyes pierced into my soul
write for me, I’ll guide your way truth that will be told.
There are those who disregard the truth
you’re able to see within their heart
you come to me, I hear your prayers
so, I’m here to guide your way.
There’s freedom in your words
as they define their very soul
I’ll guide your words through brilliant colors
knowing the truth that will be told.”

“Jesus is a descendant of David, the beloved of God. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who was born into this world and died and rose again. Saint John calls him the Word and the Light. When he died, he did so as atonement for our sins, and when he rose, he did so to defeat the power and curse of death and hell on this once-holy world. Do you believe in him?”

“Jesus is apt to come, into the very midst of life at its most real and inescapable moments. Not in a blaze of unearthly light, not in the midst of a sermon, not in the throes of some kind of religious daydream, but...at supper time, or walking along a road...He never approached from on high, but always in the midst, in the midst of people, in the midst of real life and the questions that real life asks.”
“Jesus is baffled by Tinder. He wants to love his matches, but is strictly celibate. The Holy Ghost does all of Jesus’ fucking for him. Apparently, Jesus calls his penis Lazarus because he has to raise it from the dead. It takes a miracle to get it up. Only torture porn gets him hard.”

“Jesus is basically saying, 'Look, none of the stuff you have is going to last, including you. You've only got about a dime's worth of life now. Come and trade up, come follow Me, and you can know God.' In that sense, Jesus isn't requesting a sacrifice at all. He's asking us to play Bigger and Better, where we give up ourselves and end up with Him.”

He will always transcend whatever cages and labels are created to contain and name him, especially the one called "Christianity.”
“Jesus is both a mirror to our humanity and a window to divinity, a window revealing as much of God as is given mortal eyes to see. When Christians see Christ empowering the weak, scorning the powerful, healing the wounded, and judging their tormentors, we are seeing transparently the power of God at work.”

“Jesus is by nature a communicator. He wants to speak to you and wants you to talk to Him. People who spend time with Christ daily are noticeably different. They have a winsomeness about them. You can tell when a person knows the face of Christ.”

“Jesus is challenging that when addressing "who is your neighbor" and he has a lot of hard things to say about family, "unless you hate your own family you are not going to be a disciple." He is challenging the limits of our compassion and our love as if someone's kid suffers it should be as devastating to us as if it were our own kid. That is what the early church said.”
“Jesus is coming back - it could even be today.”
“Jesus is compelling in the way the discovery of the stars or the experience of a one-of-a-kind romance is compelling. His presence draws you in to the deep.”

“Jesus is happy to come with us, as truth is happy to be spoken, as life to be lived, as light to be lit, as love is to be loved, as joy to be given, as peace to be spread.”
“Jesus is humble, and His servants must not be proud; but Jesus was never mean or cowardly, nor must His servants be. There was no braver man than Christ. He could stoop to save a soul, but He would stoop to nothing by which His character might be compromised or truth and righteousness insulted. To preach the Gospel boldly is to deliver it as such a message ought to be delivered. Blush to preach of a dying Saviour? Apologize for talking about the Son of God condescending to be made man that He might redeem us from all iniquity? Never!”

“Jesus is hungry but feeds others; He grows weary but offers others rest; He is the King Messiah but pays tribute; He is called the devil but casts out demons; He dies the death of a sinner but comes to save His people from their sins; He is sold for thirty pieces of silver but gives His life a ransom for many; He will not turn stones to bread for Himself but gives His own body as bread for people.”
“Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians - you are not like him.”
