Who Will Be Jesus
Becoming the Savior: Unveiling Compassion in Bruce Carroll's Song
Lyrics
He came home from work last night,
Coming home, he discovers his partner has left.
To find that she is gone,
The woman has left the man.
Now He's spending his first Sunday
On the first Sunday after the breakup, he sits alone in church.
Sitting in the pew alone,
He is alone in the pew, contemplating the situation.
There are whispers all around him,
People around him talk in hushed tones.
His heart breaks in two,
His heart is breaking.
He's wondering who will reach out
He wonders who will support him during this tough time.
And help him make it through,
Seeking assistance to cope with the situation.
She has a reputation like
Comparing her to the woman at the well, known for her past.
The woman at the well ,
She has a questionable reputation.
The only love she ever knew was
Her only understanding of love is transactional.
The kind she buys and sells,
She engages in buying and selling love.
But her thirsty heart is searching
Despite her past, she longs for genuine love.
For a love that will be true,
Her heart desires a love that is true and sincere.
The Savior cries for her to
The Savior urges her to recognize Him in others.
See Himself in me and you,
Encouraging empathy towards others.
Who Will be Jesus to her?,
Pose a question about who will embody the qualities of Jesus for her.
Who'll show the love that's
Asking who will demonstrate the love commanded by Jesus.
Commanded in His word?,
Wondering if she will recognize God's might in others.
Will she see in us the mighty God we serve?,
Pondering who will represent Jesus to her.
Who will Be Jesus to her?
Wounded People everywhere,
Observing wounded individuals in various places.
And when they look at us,
Wondering if people see Jesus in those observing them.
Do they see Jesus there?
Questioning who will be Jesus to these wounded people.
Who Will be Jesus to Them?,
Who'll show the love that
Asking who will show love that brings restoration to the wounded.
Restores Them again?,
Expressing the need for love that heals and restores.
Oh, They do not need a judge,
Highlighting the importance of compassion over judgment.
They need a friend,
Emphasizing the need for friendship rather than judgment.
Who will Be Jesus to Them?
Posing the question of who will be Jesus to them.
Who will be Jesus to them
