Who is this Jesus?
Who looks beyond what I 'shouldn't' do
Beyond the cultural rules
Beyond their stares
Beyond their search for hidden sin
Who sees my desperate need
to push beyond my comfort zone
To simply touch the hem of His garment

Who is this Jesus?
to Whom I am drawn
when no one else can help
when nothing I've done is enough
Whose grace meets the truth of my condition
Whose mercy covers all the mistakes
that others have held against me
that I've held against myself
Who is this Jesus?
Who feels my touch
In the midst of the many who push in
Who validates me in front of those who stared
those who wondered why
When He could easily let me slink away
back into the crowd
who instead restores me to being a Daughter
healed and whole
Who is this Jesus?
Whose mercy meets the truth He requires of me
The truth He leads me to
The truth He shows me in increments
The truth that is no surprise to Him
But that often hits me hard
when I finally see it
Who is this Jesus?
Who holds me up with His righteous right hand
As that truth buffets me
And threatens to take me down
The truth about myself
The truth about my life
The truth about my circumstances
the truth about my heart
Who is this Jesus?
who, knowing all this truth
who always has
calls me and draws me anyway
who pursues me with His goodness
and His mercy
till it overwhelms me and brings me low
so that I can
touch the hem of His garment
