I Am Just Me
by ron kyker If I were a treeYou would come and save me If I were a whaleYou would do anything to set me free If I were a strayYou would shed a tear for me times three But I am notI am just me I'm not a pit bullA roosterOr a horse being made into glue I resemble my creatorI look something just like you If I were gayYou would march in a parade If I were an atheistI could sue you some day If I were a MuslimYou would have to convert or be slain But I am notI am just me Someone who is lost and needs to be found When I'm laid in the groundHell will be where I'm bound Will you sacrifice all to save just me Will you suffer much so I can be set free Will you mourn and weepTo God will you make a passionate pleaJust for me But you are notIs it just me Is my life not worth even more than these Will you not give up your comfortYour life of ease Didn't Christ for you make such a passionate plea Didn't He take all of God's wrath for you and me Oh how I wish that I were one of these Why are you notDoesn't your Christ hold the keys If I were almost extinct like a Pandaa leopardor a frog To raise a lot of money many a mile wouldn't you jog But I am notI am just me Were not your eyes opened to see Or is your faith not really real Were you a thief who came in the sheep pen just to steal I am just me Someone Christ loved enough to die on that tree Vasquez Savage I am a layperson with 35 years of teaching, studying, and sharing the love of Christ.
