Wide Eyed Lyrics - Nichole Nordeman

When I met him on a sidewalk 

He was preaching to a mailbox 

Down on 16th Avenue 

And he told me he was Jesus 

Sent from Jupiter to free us 

With a bottle of tequila and one shoe 

He raged about repentance 

He finished every sentence 

With a promise that the end was close at hand 

I didn't even try to understand 

He left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion 

I was tongue tied, drawn by my conclusions 

So I turned and walked away 

And laughed at what he had to say 

Then casually dismissed him as a fraud 

I forgot he was created in the image of my God

When I met her in a bookstore 

She was browsing on the first floor 

Through a yoga magazine 

And she told me in her past life 

She was some plantation slave's wife 

She had to figure out what that might mean 

She believes the healing powers of her crystals 

Can bring balance and new purpose to her life 

Sounds nice 

She left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion 

I was tongue tied, drawn by my conclusions 

So I turned and walked away 

And laughed at what she had to say 

Then casually dismissed her as a fraud 

I forgot she was created in the image of my God

Not so long ago, a man from Galilee 

Fed thousands with His bread and His theology 

And the truth He spoke 

Quickly became the joke 

Of educated, self-inflated Pharisees like me 

And they were wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion 

They were tongue tied, drawn by their conclusions 

Would I have turned and walked away 

And laughed at what He had to say 

And casually dismissed Him as a fraud 

Unaware that I was staring at the image of my God
