Have you found Jesus yet?

I found him on the back of a milk carton.
But they wanted to lock him up.

I found him at the Home Depot.
But he called himself Hey Suse.

I found him on my toast.
But I was starving.

I found him in a homeless man.
But he just wanted my spare change.

I could not find him in a church.
I could not find him in the Book.

They said I'd find him in my heart.
But my eyes could not see him there.

I steadied the blade over my heart,
and plunged it deep.

I found him in a river of blood.
But he called himself Life.
