Poetry: How you were with Jesus is how you are with me

It’s alright, babe

friend and compatriot

How you were with Jesus is how you are with me

I’m not above my master

if you faked it with Him

a fake toward me is all you’ll ever be

I understand

There’s lots of them and only one of me

You lookin’ for a common man

an’ a common god with all you hear and see

that don’t declare no good or evil

just a smile

’til its time to go.

You in your speech and I’m in mine

so it will be until your day of grace

if you have one

I’ll be gone by then I suppose

We’re not on the same road.

I knew I couldn’t save you

I always thought Jesus would on my account

But it’s a fit thing for me to see

what they do to Him

If I hadn’t heard the Word I’d be with you

not knowin’ the evil you done

I’d be the worst among you

Your proud husband in the middle of the Do

But it ain’t so.

So one of us has got to go.

But I’ll tell you:

I never thought you was one of them

until God Said so in me.

How you were with Jesus is how you are with me

I’m not above my Master

I see it clearly now

He’ll get me over it somehow

I loved my enemy like myself

and stood there stupid while it all went on

but the Word has brought the dawn

not everybody gets a lamentation

But I’m givin’ you yours now

He’ll get me over it somehow

How you are with Jesus is how you are with me

I’m not above my Master

You’ll just keep fakin it

But like Him

I won’t have to take it

It’s enough I’m like Him

I’m not above my master

How you were with Jesus is how you’ll be with
all you meet

Matthew 12:39,40 But he, answering, said to them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas the prophet. For even as Jonas was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, thus shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
