A few months back I got THIS here album by Caleb and Sol. It's free! I liked it a lot.
I thought I'll share with you the lyrics to the last song on their album. It is very haunting and Very true...
Jesus is Better
I’ve got 5 minutes to convince you of one thing.
Altogether, it’s 13 letters, 3 words, and 1 complete sentence.
And I hope you never forget it.
In fact, I hope it haunts you.
I hope you always remember these 13 letters, these 3 words, and this one complete sentence.
Jesus is better.
You say...Better than what?
I say...Better than everything else.
He’s better than any passing dream you might be chasing after.
He’s better than any worldly ambition that may have captured your devotion.
He’s better than anything that could distract you from doing what you were created to do.
Jesus is better.
He’s better than a 6-figure salary.
He’s better than a 3-story home.
He’s better than a trophy, wife, a job promotion, and a Caribbean cruise
Jesus is better.
He’s better than a starting position on the football team.
He’s better than a lead role in the spring musical.
He’s better than a 4.0. GPA, a college scholarship, and a nomination to homecoming court.
Jesus is better.
He’s better than money, cars, clothes, sex, entertainment, achievement, and popularity.
He’s better than anything this world can offer you.
Jesus is better.
He’s better than any person that has ever walked this earth.
He’s wiser than Gandhi and smarter than Einstein.
He’s more holy than Mohammed and more spiritual than Buddha.
He’s more eloquent than Shakespeare and more creative than Mozart.
He’s more powerful than Napoleon and more compassionate than Mother Theresa
Jesus is better.
The Bible says...
He’s better than Adam, better than Abraham, better than Moses, David, and Mary.
He’s better than the angels, better than the demons, and better than any prophet, priest, or saint.
Jesus is better!
And there will be times when it is hard to believe
Times when it doesn’t feel like Jesus is better
The world will hate you
Your flesh will fight you
The devil will lie to you
Storms will come
You’re gonna face disappointment
Deception
Betrayal
Rejection
Regret
Sickness and death
You’re gonna feel tired
Empty and broken hearted
Scared and alone
But don’t forget in the darkness what you learned in the light
Jesus is better
He’s the King of kings
And the Lord of lords
He’s the Prince of peace
And the Light of the world
He’s the friend of sinners
And the enemy of Satan
He is the Alpha and the Omega
The first and the last
The beginning and the end
He is the Way and the Truth and the Life
Jesus is better
And if you really truly believe it
Its gonna cost you
You’re going to deny yourself
Take up your cross and follow Him
You’re gonna help the poor
Swallow your pride
And love your enemies
You’re gonna read your Bible when you’d rather watch TV
You’re gonna pray when you’d rather sleep
You’re gonna serve when you’d rather be served
You’re gonna speak up, when you’d rather be silent
But when it’s all said and done...
You won’t regret it
You’ll say...It was worth it
Jesus is better
I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Jesus my Lord, for Whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish that I may be in Christ.
Jesus is better
So my hope for you isn’t that you’re safe, successful, and well liked.
Sometimes those are the very things that get in the way of what you cannot afford to ignore
Jesus is better
So if being unsafe, unsuccessful, and un-liked is what’s going to take you to see that Jesus is better, well then I’ll pray that your life is filled with danger, failure, and persecution.
Whatever it takes, I want you to know that
JESUS IS BETTER
Thirteen letters, three words, one sentence, and no question about it
Jesus is better...
Jesus IS better! ;-)
