Jesus On The Counter

Jesus, there You are before us.
You see and You know all.
But how do we react?
Some ignore You; some wanna hate You.
The unreached and full of rage
Walk before You.
You go unacknowledged.
I cannot imagine the tears You’ve cried
For children so far from You.
But You have lit a flame in my heart
That refuses to perish.
I want to know You.
Your dwelling place is beautiful
And I long for it.
I promise You now -
I will take you down from the counter
And help Your presence enter those
Who need to want You more
Than life itself.
