Jesus came because we needed a guide
To help us follow the Way and not slide.
Jesus came as a servant to identify with us.
He knows how hard life can be and thus
He knows what hard work is;
He knows what fear is.
Jesus came to help protect
When lost or when we feel wrecked.
Jesus came to love us sacrificially.
Jesus came to love us unconditionally.
