Mr. Jones
Michael Rodríguez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mr. Jones es un ateo
Prominente y sagaz
Obstinado y sin modales
Nadie lo puede soportar

Desde hace tiempo vive solo,
Su familia le dejo
Pues su problema de alcoholismo
Se convirtió en abuso doméstico

Sus vecinos son creyentes
No lo han ido a visitar
Nunca lo invitan a la iglesia
Ni a la escuela dominical

Quien irá a llevarle el mensaje?
Quién irá a llevarle la verdad?
Se ha perdido de perspectiva,
Lo que es evangelizar
No es colocar amplificadores E
n una esquina y predicar

Mr. Jones anda angustiado
Y nadie le habla del Señor
Mientras jugamos a ser cristianos
Y empeora su condición

De que nos vale hablar bonito
De vez en cuando desde el altar
Si cuando apagan el equipo
Se nos olvida cristianizar

Cruza la calle, no demores,
Comparte el gozo de salvación
Toca a la puerta, pues tú eres





El vecino de Mr. Jones

Overall Meaning

"Mr. Jones" by Michael Rodríguez is a song that highlights the struggle of an atheist man, Mr. Jones, who is known for being prominent and clever but is also stubborn and lacks manners. He lives alone after his family left him due to his alcoholism turning into domestic abuse. Mr. Jones' neighbors are all believers but they never visit him or invite him to their church events. The song calls out to Christians to reach out to Mr. Jones and share the message of God's love with him. The lyrics emphasize that simply preaching from the altar is not enough, and that true evangelization requires action and interaction with people like Mr. Jones.


The song highlights the importance of stepping out of our comfort zones and reaching out to those who may not share the same beliefs as us. Often, we get caught up in our routines and rituals that we forget about the people who need God's love and forgiveness the most. Mr. Jones represents the millions of people around the world who have been written off by society due to their sins or beliefs. The song challenges us to be the ones who will take the message to him and to never forget to live out our faith outside of the church environment.
