We don't need a
Dumbed down
Godspell clown
Mamby-pamby Jesus!
We need the real deal
Our faith shield
Who bruised His heel
While crushing satan’s
head
We don't need a
Homogenized
Pasteurized
Sanitized baby Jesus
We need the genuine One
The only Son
Of God
And Son of man
We don't need a
Politically corrected
Philosophically dissected
Culturally corrupted
Christ
We need the soul saving
Sole way
To our Father's
Mighty Hand
We don’t need a
Dispensated
Regulated
Abrogated Savior
We need the Messiah
Who gave His life
As our example
Yielded rights
We don’t need Him
Traditionally diluted
Religiously convoluted
Perfections substituted
We need the
Eternal solution
Our sins' absolution
Slavery’s abolition
Calvary’s full fruition
Bringing us to full
contrition
Transforming heart & mind conditions
You need the real Lord Jesus
Not 'Jesus the baseball
player
But ‘Jesus Cristo
Your hope-giving Savior
You need the real Jesus
Of the Bible
Owned by no one
Available to everyone
Giving freely to anyone
Meaning you’re the one
Not an icon or a statue
In a park or on a wall
Nor a bracelet or a
necklace
Can restore you from your
fall
You need
Salvation’s manifesto
The Savior manifested
God's Word made flesh
New Life made fresh
Freely given to all
Who for His help will call
You don’t need
More fiction
Novelistic apparitions
Nor man-made contradiction
For idolatry’s ambitions
You need the real Jesus
Loving sinners while
hating sin
Creating change within
Sanctifying
Purifying
Justifying
Those in Him
This is
Good News
Of One Who blesses
Rescuing from the fallen masses
Pulling out of evil’s messes
Dispelling sin’s dark
morasses
You
need the real
Lord
Jesus Christ
New Jerusalem’s City Light
Shining forth the Bread of
life
Manna come from Heaven
Feeding you and freeing you
From all ungodly leaven
I really need the real Jesus
Unmuted unashamed
Untarnished unmaimed
Unharnessed untamed
Famous Name above all
names
The only true Master
The only chief Pastor
The only great Teacher
The only truth Preacher
I ‘m talking about the real Lord Jesus
Who was and is and is to come
Who was
For transgressions wounded
For my iniquities bruised
For rebellion punished
For my sins tarnished
For griefs grieved
For my weakness weak
For shame shamed
For my blame blamed
For stains stained
For this sinner slain
He was
Marginalized and
ostracized
Criticized and crucified
Suffering much because of
lies
Redeeming evil ones like I
He arose He conquered death
Regaining breath
In glorious resurrection
The Hero Who’s coming back
His promise sure not slack
As foretold at His ascension
With fire in His eyes
and a sword on his thigh
His garments dipped in red
Splitting eastern skies
Answering all our “Whys?”
Giving the devils their
dread
Many crowns on His head
Fulfilling all that He
said
Raising those saints who are dead
The King of kings and everything
The First, the Last and A
to Z
Almighty God He is to me
The real LORD JESUS CHRIST !
