What Has Man Done for Me?

I've seen the backs of men many times

As they turn away from me

But I've yet to see Jesus' back

For His face is all I ever see

What has man done for me?

Jesus has done a thousand times more

When man closes a window

He never fails to open a door

Man puts his hand out as if he's going to help

But what he's reaching for isn't you

It's how much attention he'll receive

And how much he'll benefit from it, too

Jesus gives freely, only smiling “Your welcome.”

Never for the spotlight does He yearn

Instead of wanting material things

All He asks for is your love in return

What has man done for me

Compared to what Jesus is going to do?

In one hand my cup runneth over

In the other the joys are few

Man would never sacrifice

What our Lord did on the cross

If he could feel just a tenth of that love

Perhaps man's life wouldn't be in such chaos
