Just Jesus? (A Simple Poem)

I like my church,

I love the people,

The music is awesome,

There’s a beautiful steeple

I feel I belong,

The haystacks are great*,

But if this all were gone,

Would I actually stay? 

If it’s just me and Jesus,

If it’s just me and Him,

Not “Jesus plus” or “special edition,”

If it’s just Jesus and I,

Just us and we,

Will Jesus be enough for me?

Heaven sounds awesome,

I think I’d have a blast,

Swinging off stars,

Chillin’ with giraffes,

But if there were no mansions,

The paradise gone,

Just Jesus to hang out with,

Would I feel I belong? 

If it’s just me and Jesus,

If it’s just me and Him,

Not “Jesus plus” or “special edition,”

If it’s just Jesus and I,

Just us and we,

Will Jesus be enough for me?

When answers are nowhere,

Can’t seem to be found,

Your hopes come crashing

To the ground

Your heart is aching

And full of pain

When your dreams are gone,

Will the Friend remain?

If it’s just you and Jesus,

If it’s just you and Him,

Not “Jesus plus” or “special edition,”

If for eternity,

It was just you two,

Would Jesus be enough for you?
