TexasTiger 13,019 Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Here's another song that hits home to me on this subject:Jesus When we love the least When we love the weak When we love these We love Jesus Jesus brings a meal for tips Jesus trying hard to quit Jesus raising two alone Jesus drives a heavy load When we love the least When we love the weak When we love these We love Jesus Jesus with worn wrinkled hands Jesus sows a patch of land Jesus hides a tattooed arm Jesus keeping dinner warm When we love the least When we love the weak When we love these We love Jesus Jesus waves a foreign flag Jesus wrings a washing rag Jesus leans on prison bars Jesus swinging in my yard When we love the least When we love the weak When we love these We love Jesus Interestingly, the original lyric was "Jesus turns another trick" instead of "Jesus brings a meal for tips", point being that when you take Christ's words to heart about "whenever you do this to the least of these, you do it to Me", you realize that opportunities to see Jesus and minister to Him are bumping into you all over the place. But it's so much easier to see Jesus in the faces of our children, or in famous Christians like Mother Teresa, or in people we know and love than it is to see Jesus when we see a prostitute, or a convict, or someone doing "menial" jobs, or a foreign soldier. Yet, this is what Jesus tells us. The "turns another trick" line was a little too hot for Christian retailers, so it ended up being rewritten because while the writer loved the imagery (and still does), the point of the song could still be made without it and he didn't want the message to not be heard at all because of the jitters of a few gatekeepers. Sad but true. 141702[/snapback] "Turns another trick" could rock some worlds. Who's the artist/writer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,511 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Shaun Groves. It's on his album Twilight. Frankly the whole CD is excellent, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
