Fix me Jesus

.
A few weeks ago my daughter and I went to see "Joyful Noise." It is an awesome story! In it was one character, a young teenager, who was autistic but high functioning. He was mad at God for the way He made him. His mama sat down beside him and told him 'we all have something wrong with us. It's this ole' world we live in. It's not God's fault.'

She then sat down at a piano and sang an old spiritual, "Fix me, Jesus." The words were similar to this:

Fix me Jesus, fix me.
Ooh fix me Jesus,
ooh fix me Jesus,
ooh fix me Lord,
fix me Jesus fix me.

Fix me for my long white robes.
Fix me Jesus, Fix me.
Fix me for my sorry soul.
fix me Jesus, Fix me.

Ooh fix me Jesus,
ooh fix me Jesus,
ooh fix me Lord,
fix me Jesus fix me.

Fix me for my dyeing breath.
Fix me Jesus, fix me.
Fix me for my daily love.
Fix me Jesus, fix me.

Ooh fix me Jesus,
ooh fix me Jesus,
ooh fix me Lord,
fix me Jesus fix me.

---What awesome words!
