The Best Part Is...



The Best Part Is

I know about a guy who’s been suffering quite a bit.
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
His sheep wonder amongst themselves why that guy doesn’t just quit.
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
The guy stays on even when his friends say “Get out of it!”
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
The guy walks that lonely road of loss refusing to sit.
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
The guy battles the devil when he taunts “Looser. Unfit.”
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
The guy wrestles his dark heart from slipping into a pit.
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!

Because indeed it was Jesus Who first suffered quite a bit.
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
It was Jesus’ sheep who wondered why He just would not quit
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
It was Jesus Who stayed when His friends said, “Get out of it.”
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
And Jesus Who walked a lonely road refusing to sit.
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
It was Jesus that defeated Satan by the Spirit!
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
It was Jesus that by prayer kept His Heart out of the pit.
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!

Legit, it is Jesus when that guy endures quite a bit.
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
Legit, it is Jesus when that same guy just doesn’t quit.
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
Legit, it is Jesus when that guy won’t “Get out of it.”
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
Legit, it is Jesus when that guy walks on and won’t sit.
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
Legit, it is Jesus when that guy responds, “Winner. Fit.”
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!
Legit, it is Jesus when his heat is pulled from the pit.
And the best part is that just shows that Jesus is LEGIT!

Legit, Jesus is endurance in the midst of vile grit!
Legit, the bestest part is that Jesus is SO LEGIT!


This poem goes out my fellow pastors who are going through a rough time, who have had a rough time, and who will have a rough time (all of us)--to help us remember not just to endure, but why we endure, and how we endure.

This poem also goes out to the rest of my brothers and sisters in Christ because your lives have been rough, are rough, or will be rough and the way that you endure through the ugly and why you should endure through the ugly is the same as how and why your pastoral brothers.
