Gay Jesus

If I was someone else

If I wasn't your ideal

If it turned out that instead

Of your fantasy I was real

Can I be your gay Jesus

Can I be your broken rock

Will you stay and pay worship

Or will I watch you walk

What makes an idol

And what makes a man

Do I have to make miracles

If all I can make is a stand

What if I was your gay Jesus

What if I was a broken rock

Will you stay in adoration

Or will you turn and walk?

And maybe there's no pedestals

At least without the heights

And maybe there's no marquees

To fill my name in lights

And I'm just your gay Jesus

And I'm just a broken rock

So why do you turn away

When all I want to do is talk

And maybe religion is a gay Jesus

And maybe it's built on a broken rock

And I'll watch you fall from grace

Because you can't stand the walk
