Kanye West: “I didn’t find Jesus, my parents gave him to me…”

if you haven’t seen them yet kanye west jesus walks videos have been playing on mtv for a while now. there are three very different videos

relevant magazine has a summary of all the videos with some spiritual/scriptural connections.

i blogged about this accidental hip-hop prophet previously. he is sharing his spiritual journey in the hip-hop media

i think west is a perfect example of how the postmodern/emergent culture is represented in the african – american community. check this

[Chorus]
Jesus Walk- God show me the way because the devil tryna break me down
Jesus Walk With Me- The only thing that I pray iz that my feet don’t fail me now
Jesus Walk-And I don’t think theres nothing I could do now to right my wrongs
Jesus Walk With Me-I wanna talk to God but im afraid cuz we aint spoke in so long..

I ain’t?t here to argue about his facial features
Or here to convert atheists into believers
I’m just tryna say the way school need teachers
The Way Kathy Lee needed Regis…thats the way i need Jesus.
So here go my single dawg, radio needs this
They said they could rap about anything except for jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, videotape
But if I talk about God my record wont get played, huh?
Well if this take away from my spinz…which will prolly take away my endz..
Then i hope it take away from my sinz and bring the day that im dreamin bout…
Next time im in the club, erybody screaming out…

no trippin about the stuff that church folks stress about "what did jesus look like?"just focus on what really matters we need jesus and he walks with us!

preach brotha
