Surf Jesus

Compassion for all, love for redeeming souls, cry foul, all you that hypocrite
I held the ocean in my arms and it was thankful
He walked on the water, why go swim
The wine made me drunk and the bread made me full

There’s sweetness in all the meanness, he keeps telling me
How can sin sound so close to sun?
The bright rays show me all that hides under the surface of the water
If I drown, I’m not the only one

Walk the dustiest, dirtiest paths he has to offer
I see the bluest eyes on my feet all along
The wings of a bird must feel so encumbering
The biggest waves mute the prettiest songs

Wipeout, tidal wave pour out their hearts
Who needs to surf when they can walk on top
Discouraging behavior, every time, inside the walls of church
I’ll always pray, but attending mass, I think I’ll stop
