Who is Like You

Who is like you,
Jesus, sweet Jesus?

You are the light 
of those who are spiritually lost.
You are the life 
of those who are spiritually dead.
You are the liberation 
of those who are imprisoned by guilt.

You are the glory 
of those who hate themselves.
You are the guardian 
of those who are paralyzed by fear.
You are the guide 
of those who are bewildered by falsehood.

You are the peace of those who are in turmoil.
You are the prince of those who yearn to be led.
You are the priest of those who seek the truth.
