CAN A CHRISTIAN HAVE THE BLUES. Can a Christian have the blues – you’re lyin’ if you say you never have. Can a Christian have the blues – momentary light affliction, that won’t pass. If you’re Christian then you’re human, even Jesus had the blues. In His story there is something we can use. Yes He had a deep emotion – when He looked down on that city - He wept. Then He climbed that special mountain - while down below His friends – they just slept. When He flipped those tables over – he was angry to the core. Must be tense to be so loving, with a lion’s roar. There’s no simple way to say it, everybody’s had the blues. You can speak it, write it, strum it, you can hide it in your shoes. It’s no shame to know you’re needy as the world grinds you down. Like the hourglass of time, like dust into the ground. Everybody has a burden, everybody has a cross – to bear And it’s bad when you keep tryin’, no one seems to show – they care Every person on the earth has some, tragedy and pain Even David and his sons with all their fame. All my Gospel friends may tell me, now insert some faith and joy – some hope But the blues don’t turn around that fast, may take some time to cross – that mote In the 33 years of life, the suffering servant saw He identified the pain and felt it all. So don’t let someone push you, past the pace that He provides He don’t care about a smiley face , but the bitter truth it hides It’s no shame to have the blues, ‘cause you know you’re not alone It’s a long and dusty road to the throne.
