Jesu

Jesu

Jesu, your voice has been calling me,
Singing a melody out of my childhood.
I told you I didn't believe in you.
You smiled and you said, "Do you believe in love?"

Jesu, your face has been haunting me,
Your eyes full of mystery, challenge and sorrow.
I thought I'd left you behind a long time ago,
But here you come singing your sweet song of love.

Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison,
Jesu, who are you? I love you.

Jesu, you asked if I worship you,
I had to say, "No, it's true, I worship God only,
But sometimes, I see God's light shining through you."
You smiled and you said, "That is the way of love."

Jesu, I can't know the man you were,
But I glimpse something deeper, something eternal.
I find you in the Tao of Lao Tzu,
All the world's wisdom knows your words of love.

Jesu, I still can't believe in you,
Not in the way they do, not as the only One,
But something about your story's a part of me,
You'll always be bringing me your gifts of love.

Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison,
Jesu, who are you? I love you.
