You Were Jesus to Me by The Needhams Lyrics

I know I never told you the depth of my despair
But you wrapped your arms around me
When I thought no one cared
The hands of god reached through your life
I can't say thank you enough
The way you helped me bear this load
Is the echo of his love

You were jesus to me
You carried my cross
You brought me hope when all hope was lost
You answered the cry of one desperate soul
You were his hands and feet at the point of my need
You were jesus to me

Like iron sharpens iron
I’ve learned a lot from you
I’m gonna pay it forward and I hope when I do
They’ll see that it was not my self
But the grace of god within
That caused me reach out in love
I just want to be like him
You will see the father smile when he says to you well done
And welcomes you with arms stretched wide
Because you loved like his son
