I'd Probably Be Christ
If I could change one thing, it'd be about myself
though this change would be the benefit of everyone else
I'd tell them daddy's coming home and mommy's doing fine and I'd jazz it up real nice;
make it into a little rhyme
I'd clean the blood up off thier face and take away their sins,
I'd remind them that with me, who really needs friends
I'd teach them something great
about mercy, about grace
and give them imagination, watch it light their face.
Yes, if I could change something, I'd probably be Christ
Though I wouldn't measure up, my change would suffice
Because the trouble lies not in purity but in giving,
in sacrifice
