Jesus

March 31, 2007

Shaun Groves, who’s music I have really come to appreciate as of late, has a song that is incredibly powerful that I thought I’d share with you this weekend. Music has the power, like no other medium I know, to stir the heart and clarify the thoughts of the mind in simplistic tones. This song is no different. It’s entitled, “Jesus”.

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

Chorus
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

Chorus

Jesus waves a foreign flag
Jesus wrings a washing rag
Jesus leans on prison bars
Jesus swinging in my yard

Chorus

Micah Fries

I really enjoy Shaun Groves’ music. There’s something about the combination of the lyrics and the sound and tone of his music that really connects with me. He’s so real, and that comes across in his music, particularly when it’s live. He’s appeared a couple of times in the past year at a church near where I live–his father-in-law is pastor there so he’s around every now and then, and my wife and I go if at all possible.
