If I were a tree…You would come and save me

If I were a whale…You would do anything to set me free

If I were a stray…You would shed a tear for me times three

But I am not…I am just me

I’m not a pit bull…A rooster…Or a horse being made into glue

I resemble my creator…I look something just like you

If I were gay…You would march in a parade

If I were an atheist…I could sue you some day

If I were a Muslim…You would have to convert or be slain

But I am not…I am just me

Someone who is lost and needs to be found

When I’m laid in the ground…Hell will be where I’m bound

Will you sacrifice all to save just me

Will you suffer much so I can be set free

Will you mourn and weep…To God will you make a passionate plea…Just for me

But you are not…Is it just me

Is my life not worth even more than these

Will you not give up your comfort…Your life of ease

Didn’t Christ for you make such a passionate plea

Didn’t He take all of God’s wrath for you and me

Oh how I wish that I were one of these

Why are you not…Doesn’t your Christ hold the keys

If I were almost extinct like a Panda…a leopard…or a frog

To raise a lot of money many a mile wouldn’t you jog

But I am not…I am just me

Were not your eyes opened to see

Is your faith not really real

Were you a thief who came in the sheep pen just to steal

I am just me

Someone Christ loved enough to die on that tree
