Writers of fiction, poetry, lyrics, screenplays and life stories come from diverse backgrounds. For the past three years a small group has met weekly to write together, offering criticism and support to whoever stopped by. Over 200 different people have dropped by; we learned something from each one of them. Most of the people who found us had already written for years- some even published.

If this is something that interests you, join us! We meet every Wednesday, from 9 AM - 10:30 at the Jesus Center on Park Avenue.

i’m luckier than jesus

i’m luckier than jesus
i’m not god's misbegotten son
i wasn’t sent here on a mission
i didn't come to ransom anyone

i wasn't born in a stinking manger
I wasn’t nine months in a womb
though i’ve been hurt and slandered
i’ve never been a dead man in a tomb

i’m luckier than jesus
and his twelve apostles too
they tried to maim me in a circus
and made me fight bulls in peru

i never rode a donkey like a king
that never knew his life was lost
before the crowds turned into fiends
i wasn’t broken on a cross

i’m luckier than jesus
my words are not a scandal
i never healed the deaf and blind
i don’t wear bloody sandals

sexually and physically abused
i could always run and hide
i never had to live the truth
unlike him i always lied

i’m luckier than jesus
and king and ghandi too
he turned water into wine at canaan
i just entertain the well-to-do

so i’m luckier than jesus
i’m not god's misbegotten son
i wasn’t sent here on a mission
i didn't come to ransom anyone
