Jesus Smells Like Me

Jesus Smells Like Me

Jesus smells like me.
Jesus smells like you—
If you let Him.
Jesus smells like us.

He is the Shepherd,
The One who knows His sheep
and lovingly tends His flock.
He walks where we walk,
dines where we dine,
lives among us,
and dwells close to our hearts.
He is everywhere—
yesterday, today, and always.

He is not a distant Shepherd,
but an intimate and personal one,
who loves His sheep—You and me.
Yes, Jesus smells like us.
Does Jesus smell like you?

He is the gentle Shepherd
who lifts His sheep upon His shoulders,
who carries us when we are weary,
and guards us from danger and shelters us from harm.
Jesus smells like me.
Jesus smells like you.
He wears this fragrance proudly,
for it is the scent of love,
of nearness,
of belonging.

We are safe with this Shepherd at the helm.
When we wander, He seeks us.
When we stumble, He restores us.
When shadows fall, He never leaves us exposed
or alone.
Oh yes, He is our Shepherd.

He leads us into beautiful pastures
and beside still waters.
With a gentle voice, He calls us,
tending His sheep with patience and grace.
He knows each of us by name
and never flees when danger lurks nearby.
He stands firm,
watchful and faithful.

Oh yes, Jesus smells like me.

If we are lost, He comes searching.
If we are broken, He gathers us up.
If we are afraid, He carries us safely in His arms,
holding us close where He can heal, protect,
and care for us.

Yes, Jesus smells like you.
Jesus smells like me.
And I am so grateful that Jesus smells like me.

I am His sheep,
and He is my Shepherd—and yes, He smells like me.
I hope I smell like HIm.
