Jesus, I am Listening

I asked You Lord for guidance,

You told me “write My Word,”

I am putting Your pen in my hand,

I am listening now, Lord.

You taught us in so many ways,

You are a great storyteller,

I’ll bet You’re the very best

Of all the salespeople that have lived.

You had a flashy kind of quiet style,

After all, You are the Miracle Man,

You healed even without touching,

Shucks, You healed without being there.

You were kind of a real smart kid,

You accepted, if a little reluctantly,

The fact, You, God, were a man child,

And, like the rest of us, had a mom.

When the time did come,

There was no question of Your readiness,

Responsible men instantly changed their lives,

On the spot, for you, God!

You told us what You were about,

You showed us who You are,

You did not overwhelm us,

Instead, You filled us with Your Love.

You told us in special ways of Your Dad,

We came to know our Father’s need,

We came to know we were His People,

We began to know You, Our Father’s Son.

The people of God began to grow,

Through You, God’s People gained entrance,

From You, God’s People took hope,

In You, God’s People came to be.

There has never been anyone like You,

We are so grateful You came,

You’ve brought us so much closer,

To

Our Father, Your Brother Spirit, and

You, Our God!
