I have found this song to be very haunting and sad, but one that I like very much.
"Unlovable" by Plumb
I make you uncomfortable when I'm around
You always find a reason to shut me out
You don't understand me, so you push me away
And you claim Jesus let's you live that way
Tell me why me?
Why am I not welcome in your company?
Why do you treat me like an enemy?
If you believe the way you say you do
Oh then why am I unlovable to you?
Oh why am I unlovable to you?
She's got a child and no place to live
And all we can think about is our politics
Where is the love now oh that we talk so much
That we shout
'Cause I don't think she sees it
She's saying "Why me?
Why am I not welcome in your company?
Why do you treat me like an enemy?
If you believe the way you say you do
Oh then why am I unlovable to you?
Oh why am I unlovable to you?"
So we say we love Jesus
But Didn't we kill Him
'Cause we thought He was different
What was He thinking?
What was He feeling?
I bet He he was saying "Why me?
Why am I not welcome in your company?
Why do you treat me like an enemy?
If you believe the way you say you do...
Tell me why me?
Why am I not welcome in your company?
Why do you treat me like an enemy?
If you believe the way you say you do
Oh then why am I unlovable to you?
Oh why am I unlovable to you?
Oh, why am I unlovable."

I know that sometimes when one reads something where someone has put words into Jesus mouth, it can be a little worrisome. In this case, this makes me think about how He must have felt to be rejected by those He came to save. How bittersweet it must have been: the "stone that the builders rejected became the cornerstone." Yes He became the cornerstone, but He loved the builders. But He was Unlovable to them, and to so many others.
