Oh Toby Keith. He has such a way about him! I actually REALLY like Toby Keith and this song just gets me! To hear him sing it makes me laugh. I had forgotten about this particular song until the other day when I was listening to Paul Colman and heard him do it. I stopped and thought, "Wait a sec. I know this song from TOBY KEITH." So, I had to include it!
Despite what Toby Keith may or may not believe about God and Jesus I like him singing this song. I like him singing it more than I do Paul Colman (although I provided his version today as well). The funny thing about this song is how right on it is! Jesus DID in fact forgive us and adore us while he hung on a cross that was made by haters of him. The amazing thing about Jesus is that he loved and forgave the very ones who built the cross and sentenced him to it. Not one person was excluded from his forgiveness and adoration. NOT ONE.
My favorite stanza from the song is:
If I Was Jesus, I’d come back from the dead
And I’d walk on some water, just to mess with your head
I know your dark little secrets, I’d look you right in the face
And I’d tell you I love you, with Amazing Grace.
I think it's my favorite because Jesus and what he did totally messed with our heads! And because there is NOTHING we can hide from his knowledge, he knows all. He knows all about us, all about our dark (and dirty) little secrets and he looks us in the face and loves us with Amazing Grace. Man. I love it! Amazing Grace indeed that Jesus would look on me, a filthy sinner, and forgive me and adore me. And he does that with you too.
