Dear Jesus
Words and Music by Althea M. Bakke-Lysaker

Chorus
Dear Jesus,
I lay my burdens down
I worship you
And wash your feet
with my tears, Lord

I bring to you
The ones that I love
Will you hold them?
Comfort them?
Wipe the tears from their eyes?

Help them to see truth from the lies.
Will you show them that I love them?
Will you carry them in your love?
Show them that you are alive

Chorus
Dear Jesus,
I lay my burdens down
And I worship you
And wash your feet
with my tears, oh Jesus,

I see you loving them...
Holding them...
Comforting them for me, Lord...

Dearest Jesus, Jesus...
Tell my friends that I love them
Tell them that I want them to know
of your deep love, your true love,
your presence from above...

Dear Jesus,
Will you love them?
Will you hold them for me?
Love them for me...
Help them to see you
More clearly in me...Lord...

Show my friends that I love them.
Carry my friends in your arms.
Show them the truth from the lies.
Show them that you are alive.

Chorus
Dear Jesus,
I lay my burdens down
And I worship you
And wash your feet
with my tears, Lord

Dearest Jesus, Jesus,
I love you,
I love you,
I love you!!!
