Who are you, Jesus

Who are you, Jesus?
A name I often hear,

In stories and in songs,

But sometimes it’s not clear.

They say you walked on water,

And made the blind to see.

They say you healed the sick,

And set the captives free.

Are you a mighty king,

With a crown upon your head?

Or are you a gentle shepherd,

Guiding sheep that you have led?

I see your picture on the wall,

With arms outstretched so wide.

They say you died for us,

On a cross, they crucified.

But why did you have to go,

And leave us all behind?

Do you still hear our prayers,

In the silence, can you find?

Are you the one who listens,

When I cry myself to sleep?

Do you see the tears I shed,

When the world feels cold and deep?
I have so many questions,

As a child, I need to know.

Who are you, Jesus?

Please, help me understand and grow.

In my heart, I feel your presence,

A warmth I cannot explain.

Even though I cannot see you,

I know you’re here, I feel your pain.

You are the light in the darkness,

A friend who’s always near.

You love me unconditionally,

And wipe away each tear.

Though I may not understand it all,

I trust in you, Jesus, so kind.

For in your love and grace,

A child like me will always find.

A comforting embrace,

A guiding hand, so true.

You are my Savior, Jesus,

And I believe in you.
