Poetry

Like Jesus

Give me a heart like Jesus’

One that is wholly devoted to God. 

Give me a voice like Jesus’ 

That echoes compassion and love.

Give me eyes like Jesus’

That see beyond the shame and fear

Make me like Jesus. 

I want to reflect your image, oh God

The way you intended it to be.

I want to be your hands and your feet

Bringing your kingdom to all that I see. 

Give me ears like Jesus’

Hearing beyond the anger and pose.

Give me a mind like Jesus’

Discerning the truth from lies,

Shining the light in the darkness

Make me like Jesus.
