I See Jesus


      I saw Jesus last week.
      He was wearing blue jeans and an old shirt.
      He was up at the church building; He was alone and working hard.
      For just a minute he looked a little like one of our members;
      But it was Jesus ... I could tell by his smile.

      I saw Jesus last Sunday.
      He was teaching a Bible class.
      He didn't talk real loud or use long words,
      But you could tell he believed what he said.
      For just a minute, he looked like my Bible teacher;
      But it was Jesus ... I could tell by his loving voice.

      I saw Jesus yesterday.
      He was at the hospital visiting a friend who was sick.
      They prayed together quietly.
      For just a minute he looked like Brother Jones;
      But it was Jesus ... I could tell by the tears in his eyes.

      I saw Jesus this morning.
      He was in my kitchen making my breakfast,
      and fixing me a special lunch.
      For just a minute he looked like my mom;
      But it was Jesus ... I could feel the love from his heart.

      I see Jesus everywhere,
      Taking food to the sick ...
      Welcoming others to his home, Being friendly to a newcomer,
      and for just a minute, I think he's someone I know;
      But it's always Jesus ... I can tell by the way he serves.


      Addendum -- John 15:12 (NKJV) "This is My commandment,
      that you love one another as I have loved you."
