Jesus In The Neighborhood – Hymn Lyric
He’s in the neighborhood
Neighborhood
Have you heard of the woman
With the issue of blood?
She tried every cure
She could think of
Can you imagine the hope that she found
When a neighbor came around
And said, “You’ll never guess
Who’s walking down the street”
Jesus is in the neighborhood
(He’s in the neighborhood, He’s in the neighborhood)
Performing miracles and doing good
(miracles)
He’s got the kind of power
That makes people whole
Now, that’s the kind of man
That you really ought to know
Jesus is in the neighborhood
(He’s in the neighborhood)
Do you remember Zacchaeus?
The wee little man
He climbed up in a tree
To get a glimpse of the Master first hand
All that he knew was hate and greed
All he felt was an aching need
Can you see his face?
When someone in the crowd cried out
Times are certainly changin’
And that’s for sure
My God is the very same
Yesterday, and today and forevermore
If you have a need in your life
Got a demon you need to fight
Take courage in the words
That you are about to hear
Listen to me…
Jesus is in the neighborhood
(Jesus is in the neighborhood)
Performing miracles and doing good
He’s got the kind of power
That makes you whole
A power that you really should know
Jesus is in the neighborhood
(He’s in the neighborhood, He’s in the neighborhood)
Performing miracles and doing good
(miracles)
Yes, He’s doing good
He’s got the kind of power
That makes people whole
The compassionate God
That you really ought to know
Jesus is in the neighborhood
(He’s in the neighborhood)
(Yes, He is)
Jesus is in the neighborhood
(He’s in the neighborhood)
(performing miracles and doing good)
Jesus is in the neighborhood
(He’s in the neighborhood)
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, He’s in the neighborhood
Meaning of Jesus In The Neighborhood
As we walk through the tapestry of our lives, we encounter moments of both pain and promise, where vulnerability can become our greatest strength. Let us take a journey together, deeply introspective, exploring the heart of our humanity and the boundless compassion available to us, just within reach in our very own neighborhood.
Imagine for a moment the story of the woman with the issue of blood. Her tale is one marked by relentless struggle and unwavering hope. She tried every remedy, sought every cure, and yet found solace in none. Just when despair could have consumed her, a glimmer of hope arrived. A neighbor mentioned that Jesus was walking through the streets. Can you imagine the surge of hope she felt? That same boundless hope is available to us today; it speaks to the core of our being, urging us to seek and to believe.
In moments when we feel isolated by our struggles, let us remember Zacchaeus, the wee little man who climbed a tree in his desperation to glimpse the Master. Consumed by his own shortcomings and fears, he was transformed by a simple encounter. What he found was beyond a mere glance; he discovered a profound sense of belonging and unconditional love.
These stories are more than historical accounts; they are mirrors reflecting the perpetual presence of divine compassion in our lives. When someone mentions that Jesus is in the neighborhood, it’s not just a passing statement, but an invitation to embrace that transformative power in our lives.
We find ourselves in changing times, where uncertainty often pervades our thoughts. Yet, our God remains steadfast the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. In our deepest needs and toughest battles, we are reminded to take courage, for the divine presence is near, performing miracles and doing good, just as before. This understanding anchors us, giving us the strength to confront any adversities we face.
Rumi said, The wound is the place where the Light enters you. Our vulnerabilities and challenges do not define us; rather, they shape us, guiding us towards the light of understanding and acceptance. Embracing our humanity with compassion, we can start to see the divine miracles within our day-to-day lives.
Reflect upon your own journey. What are the struggles you face? What are the silent cries of your heart? Acknowledge them without judgment. Just as the woman with the issue of blood and Zacchaeus did, hope and transformation are present for you as well. Jesus, or the embodiment of divine love, is in your neighborhood, in your heart, whispering words of encouragement and healing.
Take a moment every day to sit quietly, breathe deeply, and welcome this divine presence. Let it guide you, comfort you, and reveal the truth that you are never alone. Every act of kindness, every moment of gratitude, brings you closer to this boundless compassion. Recognizing this, you’ll start to see the divine not just in yourself but in every person you meet and every experience you have.
Friends, lets embrace this journey of self-discovery and profound acceptance. Let us lean into our vulnerabilities, transforming them through the divine compassion that is ever-present, ever-loving, and ever-ready to make us whole. For indeed, Jesus divine love is in the neighborhood, performing miracles, and doing good.
