Little Pocket Jesus


An improv buddy of mine named Micheal Glatzmaier wrote this song called Little Pocket Jesus inspired by a Jesus action figure he found when he was a kid. This is perfect for 500 word fiction--super short and he could connect directly with the real life event which inspired the creative outlet. Mike was cool enough to let me film him sing it. Turn up the volume and listen while you read. It only takes a minute!









When I was a little child The best thing that I found
In third grade was by the toys on the ground
It was a little action figure oh it sure was great
and he goes by a very special name

And its..

CHORUS
Little pocket Jesus
It’s the only Jesus I know
He's only two inches tall
And He goes wherever I go

I dropped him on his head. Now his head has a dent
I’d take him out to show you but he’s cover in pocket lint
He’s sitting him pocket, and now he’s not a stranger
He’s sitting right in there next to my favorite pocket ranger

CHORUS
Little pocket Jesus
It’s the only Jesus that I know
He's only two inches tall
And He goes wherever I go
