Do you know, do you understand
that you represent, Jesus to me?
Do you know, do you understand
that when you treat me with gentleness,
it raises the question in my mind
that maybe He is gentle too.
Maybe He isn't someone
who laughs when I am hurt.
Do you know, do you understand
that when you listen to my questions
and you don't laugh, I think,
"What if Jesus is interested in me too?
If you care, I think maybe He cares
and then there's this flame of hope
that burns inside of me, and for a while
I am afraid to breathe
Because it might go out.
Do you know, do you understand
that your words are His words?
Your face, His face to someone like me?
Please be who you say you are.
Please, God, don't let this be another trick.
Please let this be real.
Please
that you represent, Jesus to me?
