Carwash Jesus

I met my savior today

As I drove my old car

Filthy and unclean

Into the local car wash

He appeared suddenly at my side

In pale blue cover-alls

His majestic long hair flowing

His beard dark and curling

And His “Jesus” name-tag

He showed me the way

Got me lined-up straight

I tithed my ten dollars

And He went to work

I was slowly immersed

In bright foamy suds

Brushes reaching each crevice

Finding every speck of dirt

The gentle clothes rotated

And undulated over me until

Every spot was washed away

Then cleansing waters flowed

The curtains slowly parted

And I emerged to bright light

Strong winds buffeted me

Exposing a new, warm sheen

Jesus reappeared before me

To gently, lovingly wipe away

The last drops of holy water

And bless me with a smile

I drove off feeling renewed

Air freshener swinging low

In my sweet chariot

Coming for to carry me home
