Who is that Man who thinks He's a prophet?
I wonder if He's got something up His sleeve
Where's He from? Who is His daddy?
There's rumors He even thinks Himself a king
Of a kingdom of paupers
Simpletons and rogues!
The whores all seem to love Him
And the drunks propose a toast

And they say, "Surely God is with us!"

Well, Who is that man who says He's a preacher?
He must be, He's disturbing all our peace.
Where does He get off, and what is He hiding?
Every word He says those fools believe
And who could move a mountain?
Who would love their enemy?
Who could rejoice in pain
And turn the other cheek

And still say, "Surely God is with us,
Well, surely God is with us,"
Who'll say, "Surely God is with us today, today!"?

They say, "Surely God is with us
Well, surely God is with us"
They say, "Surely God is with us!"
--Mark Robertson from Rich Mullins' Jesus Record


That is our King--a man who provoked scandal with His very birth, provided wine for revelers in Cana, hung out with prostitutes and the socially down-and-out...and thinks more of finding one lost sinner then of all the righteous put together. Truly our God is an awesome God--truly Jesus was the Son of God--we could never have created anything so preposterous!

Happy New Year!
