Which Christian do you mean?

We're painted with just one big brush
But really don't be in a rush
We Christians come in many shades
Like paint that comes in many grades
Some thin as water on a page
Some mystic like an ancient sage
Some hot and hyper full of joy
Some cool reserved painfully coy
There's some who preach out in the street
And some withdraw into retreat
Some fight to right society
And others long for piety
Prosperity is for some the prize
While others long to be so wise
Some choose to reach out to the poor
While others hide behind church doors
So don't pretend we're all the same
Because we all use Jesus' Name
