Modern Day Jesus
Modern Day Jesus

Washed like a pilgrim upon these shores
He came knocking one day upon my door
Like a modern day Jesus with his groovy hair
He dressed like a woman but he didn’t seem to care

We sat on the grass - lost track of time
There was something about him that kind of reminded me of
Eyes of mercy and loving kindness
So we ate his bread and drank his wine

If he could walk on water then he could raise the dead
He could cast out the demons in my head
If he could heal the blind then he could fix the lame
I said, can you fix me Jesus? If that really is your name...

He said I’m just a pilgrim in this holy land with my
Holy feet and my holy hands
Now would you watch my back because you know, if they can
Some people will try to kill the things they do not understand

He said I leave in the morning, got to quicken my pace
I feel a calling from a distant place
He had eyes of mercy and a heart of grace
When he pressed his lips up upon my face

Washed like a pilgrim upon these shores
He came knocking one day upon my door
