Lilywhite Jesus
It’s the lilywhite Jesus
I’m supposed to believe in
As the evidence of things unseen
That guy in the pictures
Wearing long hair with a beard
Maybe lambs or a stream next to him
Long pretty robes almost, but never quite,
Obscuring his sandaled, pearl feet
The lilywhite Jesus
Who never lived a day on this,
The only Earth we have
