What do You see, Lord
When You look at me, Lord?
A lifetime of piled up sin?
Failed attempts to change.
Adding to the guilt and shame.
Digging deeper the hole I am in.
I’m at the end of my effort’s rope.
Struggling to find any hope.
Why would anyone help me?
Now I find myself looking up
Wondering is there a God of love
In whom I could truly believe?
Then a man came up to me.
“It looks like you’re in need
What can I do for you?”
Abandoning my foolish pride.
To this man I chose to confide.
To be honest and to be true.
Then this man looked at me
With the eyes of eternity
And said, “I believe I can help.
When you just looked up
Wondering if there is a God of love
That God would be Myself.”
I fell down to my knees.
Seeing the holes in His hands and feet.
Could this man truly be the One?
“I am Jesus Christ.
I am Your sacrifice
For every sin you’ve ever done.”
“If you choose to believe
Who you’re seeing is really Me,
Forgiveness is knocking at your door.
You will be reconciled
To My Father as His child.
Free of your past and be restored.”
The tears flowed down my face
Overwhelmed by this love and grace
Can this mercy really be true?
“Read this book in My hands
This has always been the plan
That I would die for you.”
“As you can see I am alive.
Now in your heart I will reside
And guide you in a new life to live.
All I ask of you
Is out of your gratitude
Is to love others and to forgive.”
How can I turn You down?
I was lost but now am found.
I choose to believe all You say.
“Welcome to My kingdom, son
Your new life with Me has begun
And I’ll be with you all of your days.”
This is the promise heard
From God’s holy Word –
Available to all who are in need.
The love you’ve been looking for
Is knocking at your heart’s door
Will you believe and receive?
