Je Suis Jesus

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: January 11, 2015

A response to the terrorist attack in Paris…

"Je suis Jesus!"
Hear him speak!
You who grieve
who justice seek.
As candles glow in Notre Dame,
the Prince of Peace declares...

"Come unto me!"
"Venir a moi!"
"I know your pain
and nerves are raw.
And so I weep with you who weep
and comfort you who fear."

"Peace I leave you!
My peace I give
to you who've lost
the will to live!"

Wherever terror stalks to kill,
Immanuel stands tall.
