 Jesus Can
You called out to me and I came hurrying to you, You are worrying much more than I ever knew, The burdens you bear are more than just a few And I am here to listen, that’s what friends do.
You say your are a sinner but aren’t we all after all, You say you are heartsick and feel so very small Well, I can’t forgive sins or change water into wine But I know a man, a precious friend of mine.
I can’t move the mountains that stand in your way And I can’t bring you sunshine for a brighter day But I know a Redeemer and Jesus is His name Oh what a friend The Lord has became.
Through valleys of darkness you’ve walked alone Until now you are helpless and feel hope is gone, I can’t lift you from the darkness out of the shame But I know someone and Jesus is His name.
You can lean on me as long as you need to talk But I can’t heal you or raise the lame to walk, It is Jesus who sustains, His love will ease your pains And His blood on the cross washed away your stains.
You feel your life is over and there’s no use to carry on, You believe you are forsaken and left on your own, Well, I am here because I care and that’s at least two For The Lord who loves me also loves you.
I can’t calm a sea or the angry tempest in your head Or multiply fishes or raise the living from the dead But I know a man who can and Jesus is His name, The worker of miracles and hopes eternal flame.
Lord Jesus is light on the darkest day when you pray, He is endless love and salvation for those who stray, I love you too but I can’t promise God’s plan, I can’t save your soul but Jesus Christ can.
