You Ask Why I Follow This JESUS?

You ask why I follow this Jesus?
Why I love him the way I do?
When the world’s turn away from his teachings
And why the people who serve him are few.

It’s not the rewards I am after
Or gifts I hope to receive
It’s the presence that calls for commitment
It’s the spirit I trust and believe.

The lord doesn’t shelter his faithful                                                      
Or spear them all suffering and pain
Like everyone else I have burdens,
And walk through my share of rain.

Yet he gives me a plan and purpose,
And that joy only Christians have known
I never know what comes tomorrow,
But I do know I am never alone.

It’s the love that is always there when you need it
It’s the words that redeem and inspire
It’s the longing to ever be with him
That burns in my heart like a fire.

So you ask why I love my Lord Jesus?
Well, Friend, that is so easy to see,
But the one thing that fills me with wonder is
Why Jesus loves someone like me.
