Isn't it just like Jesus!

Isn't it just like Jesus,
He loves me just where I am.
He never gives up on this child,
for He is the shepherd and I am His lamb.

He sees me right where I am each day
He knows me inside and out,
whether praising His name, or turning away
He still loves me, of that there's no doubt

When I've been away from my kneeling place
with discouragement ruling my heart,
I find that place warm and waiting for me
to ask Him to give me a new start.

And isn't just like Jesus
to welcome me back with His love
and carry me over the rough spots
and send angels from His side above.

Yes He has seen me at my worst
and been there for my best
but He never has broken his promise
to pardon and grant me His rest.

Isn't it just like Jesus
to open His arms wide for me
not only for love and embracing
but to suffer and die on a tree.

And now I have the assurance
for there is still more to this story
because of His love and His suffering
I will see Him in all of His glory!

Oh isn't it just like Jesus
to share all of His treasures above
and take me to heaven to see it
His unshakable kingdom of love!
