This is Why Jesus is Not a Friend of Mine

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

This video is from a real ska band called Sonseed.

I tried to find lyrics of this song online, but I couldn’t find any. However, courtesy of me, I transcribed the lyrics of song! (Further proof that I have no life.)

Jesus is My Friend by Sonseed

Jesus is a friend of mine
Jesus is my friend
Jesus is a friend of mine
I have a friend in Jesus

Jesus is a friend of mine
Jesus is my friend
Jesus is a friend of mine

He taught me how to live my life as it should be
He taught me how to turn my cheek when people laugh at me
I’ve had friends before and I can tell you that
He’s one who will never leave you flat!

Chorus

He taught me how to pray and how to save my soul
He taught me how to praise my god and still play rock and roll
The music may sound different but the message is the same
It’s just an instrumental praise his name

Chorus

Jesus is a friend of mine
Jesus is a friend of mine

Once I tried to run, I tried to run and hide
But Jesus came and found me and he touched me down inside
He is like a mountie, he always gets his man
And he’ll zap you any way he can. Zap!

Chorus

He loves me when I’m right, He loves me when I’m wrong
He loves me when I waste my time by writing silly songs
He loves me when I’m quiet and I have nothing to say
He’ll love me when I’m perfect if I ever get that way

Jesus is a friend of mine
Jesus is my friend
Jesus is a friend of mine
I have a friend in Jesus

Jesus is a friend of mine
Jesus is my friend
Jesus is a friend of mine
I have a friend in Jesus

Jesus is a friend of mine
J-J-J-Jesus
Jesus is a friend of mine

That was frightening, but I did enjoy this part of the song:

But Jesus came and found me and he touched me down inside
He is like a mountie, he always gets his man
And he’ll zap you any way he can

Do you rely on observable facts rather than your gut? Are you interested in science, human rights, skepticism, atheism, or humanism?

If so, and you have something to say and want it to be heard, Factonista has an extensive network of connections to ensure your opinions’ wide spreadability. We offer you a platform for your voice to be truly heard.

So what is Factonista?
Factoista is an online freethought advocacy organization that relies on its users for content. Through international broad-based collaboration with its users, and other groups and organizations, it strives to provide timely and comprehensive news, views, reviews, and creative multimedia on issues at the forefront of everything under the umbrella of freethought:
1. Defending civil liberties like freedoms of speech, inquiry, information, religion or lack thereof, and association
2. Opposing misinformation, pseudoscience, and quackery
3. Commenting on the intersection of religion with politics, science, human rights, and academia
4. Discussing media misinformation and reform, environmental defense, and human rights.
5., Defending and supporting the continued growth of the Internet as a central enabler of idea and information sharing, social organization, advocacy and political participation. Relevant issues include net neutrality, the social impact of the Net and various programs (e.g., the blogosphere, social networking and news aggregator applications, search engines), and means of enhancing netroots advocacy.
5. Contribute significantly to the expansion, coordination and social/political import and impact of humanism and freethought.
Factonista is about putting people before ideas, reason before superstition, and evidence before faith. It’s about being team players (i.e., putting reason, honesty, civility first), as we can achieve far more in collaboration than in isolation. And it’s about making the most of our creativity, diverse skills and backgrounds to contribute to a collective intelligence that will have influence far and wide.
