He Is

He Is 

By Ayla Smith 

What do I think of when I think of Christ?

Is He kind and gentle?

Is He loving and true?

Is He approachable to those who ask?

Does He love and support me?

Does He catch me when I fall?

Does He forgive me for my mistakes?

Does He stand by my side as I carry on?

He is strength to overcome trials

He is forgiveness for my imperfection 

He is love that never ends, that holds me close

He is truth, the light, and the way

He is a brother, a confidante

He is a friend, someone who listens 

He is a shepherd true, who cares for His flock

He is confidence in all we do and say

He is the One who helps us back up

He is the One who died that we might live

He is the One who rose again and broke the chains of death

He is the One who's waiting for me to come home
