Jesus Calling

I am here
The ever-present guest
I am waiting
Will you stop and rest?
I am calling
Do you hear your name?
I am quiet
Can you be the same?
I am love,
And peace and joy and light
I am strength
To get you through the night
I am grace
to help you through the day
I am wisdom
to guide you in my ways
I am here
please spend some time with me
I am Jesus
waiting patiently—
