I was sent the lyrics to this song, and new right away that I had to share them. It is a song by Gordon Mote. I haven’t heard the song, but only read the lyrics. It is the cry of my heart, especially this month with the ministry I have been involved in. Is it the cry of your heart? Are you willing to put all judgements aside and love people for who they are, love them like Jesus, and stop focusing on ourselves and start being there for them, the needs of those around us!
He came home from work last night to find that she is gone,
Now he’s spending his first Sunday sitting in the pew alone,
There are whispers all around him, his heart breaks in two,
He’s wondering who will reach out and help him make it through
Who will be Jesus to him
Who’ll show the love that restores
him again
him again
He doesn’t need a judge, he needs a friend
She has a reputation like the woman at the well,
The only love
she ever knew was the kind she buys and sells,
she ever knew was the kind she buys and sells,
But her thirsty
heart is searching for a love that will be true,
heart is searching for a love that will be true,
The Savior
cries for her to see Himself in me and you
cries for her to see Himself in me and you
Who will be Jesus to her?
Who’ll show the love that’s
commanded in His word?
commanded in His word?
Will she see in us the mighty God we
serve
serve
Who will Be Jesus to her?
Wounded people everywhere
And when they look at us, do they
see Jesus there?
see Jesus there?
Who Will be Jesus to them?
Who’ll show the love that restores
them again?
them again?
Oh, they do not need a judge, they need a friend,
Who will Be Jesus to them?
Who will be Jesus to them?
There is love. It comes from God. He bestowed it on us, and we have the opportunity to pour it out on others!I have been called to be Jesus to the poor and the needy, the sick and the widows, the orphans and the prostitutes. I have been called to RISE UP and take a stand for what I believe in. Will you join me and the calling of God to be Jesus to your neighbour, your co-worker, the homeless man down the street and the person sitting next to you who, regardless of what you may think, needs Jesus! Everyone needs Jesus…even those that are saved! We are all weak and wounded and need a Saviour!
Be Jesus with skin on to everyone you meet!
