Human

Questions for Jesus

 

Tell me Lord, is it true

About you, what they say?

That you walked and talked as humans do…

And lived and breathed each day?

 

“Yes my child. All you’ve heard

And all you say is true.

I know just what it means to be

A human just like you…”

 

And is it true about your friends

Who said, “For you, we’d die!”

They turned and ran when trials came

To lay them on the line?

 

“Yes dear one. It’s sad but true.

I know just how you feel

When friends of yours abandon you

The pain was very real.”

 

And Jesus, can it surely be…

You were sleepless in the night

Afraid of what the dawn would bring

And dreading morning’s light?

 

“That too was real. That too is true.

To this, I can attest.

On morning’s light I died for you

So that you would be blessed.”

 

Is it true that when you heard your friend

Had died not far from you

Your heart was burdened down with sorrow

And you cried just like us too?

 

“My heart was broken and it’s true

His sisters called my name

I wept with tears of bitterness

For you see, we are the same…”

 

But Jesus, you created all

And you know everything we do

How can this all be possible?

Lord, is it really true?

 

“I am the uncreated one

All the things you said are true.

I am God’s one and only son.

A human just like you…”
