jesus at the university of oregon

awwww, school is back in session
there are so many fresh faces parading around
jesus lingers in the corners of the campus
everyday we follow teachers, friends: strangers
who would we turn to if our world turned
what would we do if clarity died
where would we be if the certainty of security fell
when will it happen, throughout history it always happens
why would god allow a culture to stray so far
yet there is hope on the corners
a light
who am i to spend each day serious about school
i want to be serious about god
he tells me to love people
i pray i never see people as jesus does in this life
jesus looked into the eyes of liars and loved
jesus looked into the eyes of adulterers and loved
jesus looked into the eyes of sinners and loved
jesus looked into the eyes of pedophiles and loved
i am not that strong
may my eyes gaze seriously into the heart of the lord
contemplating on his word daily
remember: hate the sin, love the sinner
welcome back to the university of oregon friend
