Can we see Jesus? (YC No 170)

Can we see Jesus

High on the mountain

Brighter than sunlight

Whiter than white?

Yes.  We see Jesus

Unmasking for us

God in such wonder,

Boundless in light.

Can we see Jesus

Eating with outcasts,

Touching the lepers,

Friends with the poor?

Yes.  We see Jesus

Unmasking for us

God as compassion,

Gracious and more.

Can we see Jesus

Dying so slowly

Speaking no malice

With his last breath?

Yes.  We see Jesus

Unmasking for us

God as forgiveness

In life and death.

I can see Jesus

On my faith journey

Dazzling charisma,

Humble and meek.

I can see Jesus

God’s revelation,

Close and inviting

Each time I seek.
