Me and Jesus and the Grasscutter Man

I stepped outside to feel the sun’s warm shine,
In the quiet of the yard, everything felt fine.
Met a man with a smile, cutting grass next door,
He waved and asked me if I knew what he adored.
Six feet tall, tank top, beard trimmed right,
With a voice like honey, brought my heart to light.
A grey chain link fence stood between our views,
But the warmth in the air, it broke through those blues.

[Chorus]
Oh, me and Jesus, and the grasscutter man,
Bringing in the sheaves, completing God’s plan.
In the heart of the moment, belief intertwined,
Sharing thoughts of the heavens, with love in mind.

[Verse 2]
He asked me softly, “Do you know Jesus?”
I paused for a moment, feeling the breezes.
Spent the lockdown deep in scripture’s embrace,
Wrestling with doubts, in a quiet space.
“Jesus never existed,” I dared to say,
“The stories are woven, through the night into day.”
But he spoke of Job, his trials, his pain,
Of faith tested fiercely, like a summer rain.

[Chorus]
Oh, me and Jesus, and the grasscutter man,
Bringing in the sheaves, completing God’s plan.
In the heart of the moment, belief intertwined,
Sharing thoughts of the heavens, with love in mind.

[Bridge]
The Book of Hebrews whispered secrets untold,
Jesus a spirit, celestial and bold.
Not just a man who walked in the dust,
But a guiding light in whom we can trust.
His perfect sacrifice, forever our song,
In this tapestry of faith, we all belong.

[Verse 3]
We parted with laughter, he walked to his truck,
He handed me a Bible, giving my heart a pluck.
“I see you’re unvaxxed,” he said with a grin,
Hugged me tight, felt like a brother, kin.
In that simple exchange, our spirits aligned,
With Jesus beside us, sweet love intertwined.

[Chorus]
Oh, me and Jesus, and the grasscutter man,
Bringing in the sheaves, completing God’s plan.
In the heart of the moment, belief intertwined,
Sharing thoughts of the heavens, with love in mind.

[Outro]
So here in the garden, beneath the skies wide,
With faith in our hearts, take it all in our stride.
Me and Jesus, with laughter and grace,
Finding joy in belief, in a sacred space.
