Jesus in Jeans

Jesus in jeans

isn't much of a stretch,

tool belt, thermos,

some decent boots.

He might shave for Sunday

sit in the back pew

of every church in the world

and smile at the preacher.

He's an everyday Saviour these days,

raising our spirits,

raising our sights.

Story is He overheard a cafe conversation,

"O halfway houses are a good idea,

but not on my street."

Jesus leaned in,

paid for the gentleman's coffee

and whispered, "According to My Father

the whole world's a halfway house.

Don't forget to tip

the waitress."

He's an everyday Saviour these days,

donating blood, again.

Every time we lift a finger to help

we're helped.

What would Jesus do without us ?

Truth is He couldn't stand it.

That's why He stands at the door...

ready to knock some sense of Him

into the heart of the world.
