No White Jesus

 

 

 

I serve no white skin Jesus

As introduced by the white man,

My Jesus is neither white nor black

At least, according to God’s plan.

 

My Jesus has no blue eyes

As if that should really matter,

So, no more will I deal with that

To promote unnecessary chatter.

 

I will admit, however,

This was not always my stance,

I too was very strongly influenced

By what the Whites advanced.

 

 

 

 

But the Blacks too are no better

When they preach of a black Jesus,

Just like wind would stoke a fire

They end up adding to the fuss.

 

Some may argue for the Jews

That Jesus is Jewish for sure,

Well, if in his incarnation he was

I am sure he is no more.

 

For while salvation is of the Jews

It is not exclusively for the Jew,

That the Jews were its first recipients

Is the biblically stated view.

 

As regarding the ethnic Jews

I will say no more on this

But bear in mind the Bible purports

That all nations will be blessed.

 

 

 

 

God called out Abraham

To initiate His redemptive plan:

The plan of eternal salvation

Was to rescue fallen man.

 

For, as in Adam, all sinned,

In Christ all will be forgiven

That penitently come to Jesus Christ:

God’s gift sent down from heaven.

 

Colour definitively matters not

Whether red or yellow, black or white

And over emphasizing any of these

Hinders the seeing of the Light.

 

The light of the world is Jesus:

He is neither white nor black

And the sooner one acknowledges this

The sooner he gets on track.

 

There is no white or black Christ

Regardless of what a man may perceive

But a man truly needs to appreciate

It’s the Christ of Calvary he needs.

 

It is unfortunate, I must admit,

Good is often see as white

While on the other hand it is believed

That black is regarded as a blight.

 

For example: white magic is good

But black magic is evil

And in many other cases

Black is seen to be of the devil.

 

Rather unfortunate I afore said

But to people this should not apply

Since all came from the same source

And that we cannot deny.

 

 

 

 

Male and female, created God

Whether black, white or Jew,

And of what ever ethnic group you are

You need to accept this view.

 

True Christianity is colour blind

And only sees the blood,

Such are followers of Jesus Christ

Hence, the Christian brotherhood.

 

Colour can never divide them

That are all one in Jesus Christ,

Neither white nor black is good enough

Only Christ’s blood will suffice.

  

I serve no white skin Jesus

Nor in a black skin Jesus believe,

I serve the Christ, the incarnate God

That supplies my every need.

 

Do not be trapped by the trappings

Of colour, class or creed,

One, of necessity, must be born again

To be of Godly seed.
