got it from an email..

Why do I follow this Jesus?
And love Him the way I do?
When the world's turned away from His teachings
And the people who serve Him are few.

It's not the rewards I'm afterOr gifts that I hope to receive
It's the Presence that calls for commitment
It's the Spirit I trust and believe.

The Lord doesn't shelter
His faithfulOr spare them all suffering and pain,
Like everyone else I have burdens,
And walk through my share of rain.

Yet He gives me a plan and a purpose,
And a joy His followers have known,
I never know what comes tomorrow,
But I do know I'm never alone.

It's the love always there when you need it;
It's the words that redeem and inspire,It's the longing to ever be with Him
That burns in my heart like a fire -

So why do I love The Lord Jesus?
Well, friend, that's easy to see,
But the one thing that fills me with wonder is...
Why Jesus loves someone like me.
