Jesus on the Toast

SearchingDoubtAssurance

Jesus on the Toast" is a grinning Southern-rock singalong about all the places Jesus 'shows up' — dashboards, bumper stickers, fridge magnets, clouds, t-shirts, tortillas, and yes, toast. But under the fun runs a serious thread: God invented physical reminders (Deuteronomy 6), He is genuinely everywhere (Psalm 139), creation really is preaching (Psalm 19), He is 'not far from any one of us' (Acts 17), He locates Himself in the stranger and the needy (Matthew 25), He stands beside us in our worst moment (Matthew 28:20) — and the risen Jesus chose to be recognized in something as ordinary as broken bread (Luke 24). The song's dare is Emmaus' dare: put your eyes wide open, and you'll see Him everywhere.

"Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
John 20:29

[Verse 1]
There's a bumper sticker fish on the truck ahead of me
A cross hangin' from a mirror swinging wild and free
Got a Jesus on my dashboard, he's been riding shotgun long
And Christian radio cranked up loud singing some old song

[Pre-Chorus]
You might think I'm crazy but I'll tell you what I've found
Everywhere I look He shows up, man He's all around

[Chorus]
I see Jesus on the toast, I see Jesus on the wall
I see Jesus in a cloud when the rain begins to fall
On a t-shirt, on a tattoo, on a stained glass pane
I see Jesus in the sunshine, I see Jesus in the rain
I see Jesus everywhere, He ain't hard to find
He'll show up in the strangest places, blow your worried mind
Put your eyes wide open friend and I guarantee
You're gonna see Jesus everywhere just like me

[Verse 2]
There's a grandma with a magnet on her fridge beside the door
Got a picture of the Last Supper hanging on her wall
Little kid with a WWJD band around his wrist
And a mural on the baptistry that you just can't miss

[Pre-Chorus]
You might think it's coincidence but brother let me say
When you start to look for Jesus, He was never far away

[Chorus]
I see Jesus on the toast, I see Jesus on the wall
I see Jesus in a cloud when the rain begins to fall
On a t-shirt, on a tattoo, on a stained glass pane
I see Jesus in the sunshine, I see Jesus in the rain
I see Jesus everywhere, He ain't hard to find
He'll show up in the strangest places, blow your worried mind
Put your eyes wide open friend and I guarantee
You're gonna see Jesus everywhere just like me

[Bridge]
In a tortilla, in a tree knot, in the frost upon the glass
In a stranger's random kindness, in a mercy that just passed
In the beauty of a sunrise, in a baby's first cry
In the moment when you need Him most, He's standing right beside

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I see Jesus on the toast, I see Jesus on the wall
I see Jesus in a cloud when the rain begins to fall
On a t-shirt, on a tattoo, on a stained glass pane
I see Jesus in the sunshine, I see Jesus in the rain
I see Jesus everywhere, He ain't hard to find
He'll show up in the strangest places, blow your worried mind
Put your eyes wide open friend and I guarantee
You're gonna see Jesus everywhere just like me

[Outro]
Yeah He's everywhere you look now
(He's everywhere)
Open up your eyes
(Open up your eyes)
I see Jesus everywhere
And brother, that ain't no surprise
