DEAR JESUS, IT'S ME

[MIRIAM JACOB]

DEAR JESUS, IT'S ME


Dear Jesus, it’s me standing before you

with a needy, but simple request;

That you’d take me each day to the foot of the cross

so my heart knows each day it is blessed.

For I’ve found the truth, that all of my issues

are answered there at that place;

Where You hung in agony, shedding your blood

to show me Your mercy and grace.

When I’m low & defeated…with my strength depleted

point my eyes to what’s holy and sure.

Then I’ll see the strength that You gave at the cross

by the things You set out to endure.

When I’m wrestling with pride, please pull back the curtain

and remind me of redemption’s story,

Where You humbly laid aside the splendor You deserve

to save souls and give God the glory.

When I’m hurting & wounded by those who’ve wronged me

-send the Word that forgiveness will heal.

For the cross is my banner, so I must forgive

and let You change the way that I feel.

When I’m overwhelmed with life and my insecurities

tell me of Calvary and my cancelled sin.

Then, with clarity I will rise with the cross in my eyes

to serve You all over again.

Remind me that I’m nothing, yet with You I have everything

and I am wealthy, where once I was lost.

Let the issues of my life and every breath that I take

take me back to the foot of the cross.
