I Saw The Face of Jesus

Author: Tina Easton

 

I took a stroll down to the beach, with sand between my toes

And as I looked across the shore an incredible feeling rose

I realized I had someone standing next to me

But as I took a look around there was no one I could see

This feeling felt so strange, it took me by surprise

I just stood still and waited, as I closed and opened my eyes

I wanted to see this person and ask him what this meant

I did not know what was waiting for me around the bend

 

I saw the face of Jesus and heard Him call my name

He said to me ‘Come here my child’ no, this is not a game’

He told me that He came to me to lend a helping hand

For there were dangers waiting that I would not understand

Out of nowhere a storm broke out, it lasted quite a while

But Jesus held my hand so tight; I just stood there and smiled

I could not believe what was happening, as it happened all so fast

If Jesus were not holding me, my whole life would have passed

 

My life has changed almost instantly; it would never be the same

I thanked Jesus for being there, for calling out my name

That day I prayed like never before, as I let Him into my heart

And in return Jesus promised me that we would never part
