When I met him on a sidewalk   He was preaching to a mailbox   Down on 16th Avenue   And he told me he was Jesus   Sent from Jupiter to free us   With a bottle of tequila and one shoe      He raged about repentance   He finished every sentence   With a promise that the end was close at hand   I didn't even try to understand      He left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion   I was tongue tied, drawn by my conclusions   So I turned and walked away   And laughed at what he had to say   Then casually dismissed him as a fraud   I forgot he was created in the image of my God      When I met her in a bookstore   She was browsing on the first floor   Through a yoga magazine   And she told me in her past life   She was some plantation slave's wife   She had to figure out what that might mean      She believes the healing powers of her crystals   Can bring balance and new purpose to her life   Sounds nice      She left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion   I was tongue tied, drawn by my conclusions   So I turned and walked away   And laughed at what she had to say   Then casually dismissed her as a fraud   I forgot she was created in the image of my God      Not so long ago, a man from Galilee   Fed thousands with His bread and His theology   And the truth He spoke, quickly became the joke of educated   Self-inflated Pharisees like me      And they were wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion   They were tongue tied, drawn by their conclusions   Would I have turned and walked away   And laughed at what He had to say   And casually dismissed Him as a fraud   Unaware that I was staring at the image of my God
