I Met Jesus Yesterday

I met Jesus yesterday Didn’t recognize His face There was no long hair or beard Just a woman who said Looks like you could use a helping hand I met Jesus yesterday Didn’t know who He was There were no miracles of wine Just an old man Who shared his time I met Jesus yesterday Could have sworn I was all alone No crowds were gathered there Just a child who seemed to care Offered up his bike So I wouldn’t have to walk alone I met Jesus yesterday Never even said a prayer There were no wounds on his hands Just the scars of many years Written all across his face As the broken man gave me hope I met Jesus yesterday With no sermons on the mount You were the only one I saw As you gave your love to me Promised there you’d always be I keep meeting Jesus Though I never see His face It’s hard to understand How this Man I never see Keeps showing up Wherever there is love A helping hand, shared time An offer not to walk alone A caring heart Or whatever I may need It just seems I always say.... I met Jesus yesterday
