love them like Jesus

. ... .

You’re holding their hand, you’re straining for words
You’re trying to make sense of it all
They’re desperate for hope, darkness clouding their view
They’re looking to you


Just love them like Jesus, carry them to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don’t need the answers to all of life’s questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus


Lord of all creation holds our lives in His hands
The God of all the nations holds our lives in His hands
The Rock of our salvation holds our lives in His hands
He cares for them just as He cares for you


So love them like Jesus, love them like Jesus
You don’t need the answers to all of life’s questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus
Love them like Jesus

What do you do when someone comes to you with a burden too big for you to deal with?
Love them the way Jesus would, the way Jesus does.

How do you try to comfort someone who is hurting with a pain that crushes?
Love them the way Jesus would, the way Jesus does.

I do not have all the answers to your questions. My shoulder cannot hold all of your tears. I am not strong enough to carry your burden.

With God's help, I can love you. Love you like Jesus would, like Jesus does.
