He Was One Of Us

He was born as little children are

And lived as children do,

So remember that the Savior

Was once a child like you.

And remember that He lived on earth

In the midst of sinful men,

And the problems of the present

Existed even then.

He was ridiculed and laughed at

In the same heartbreaking way

The we who fight for justice

Are ridiculed today.

He was tempted...He was hungry...

He was lonely... He was sad...

There's no sorrowful experience

That the Savior has not had.

And in the end He was betrayed

And even crucified,

For He was truly one of us

He live on earth and died.

So do not heed the skeptics

Who are often heard to say:

"What does God up in Heaven

Know of things we face today?"

For, our Father up in heaven

Is very much aware

Of our failures and shortcomings,

And the burdens that we bear.

So whenever you are troubled

Put your problems in God's Hand

For He has faced all problems

And He will understand!
