Your Eyes

You lead me to a world that I haven’t seen
And there You guarantee
That the things I will see will scare me some
This is what Your eyes see

A man comes by whose appearance proclaims
“Every thing is clearly alright”
But he wishes he friends outnumbered his money
This is what’s seen with Your sight

An orphan child without a home
And no place to sleep at night
No mother, no father, and no one who loves him
This is what’s seen with Your sight

Past the child is a widowed lady
Who is lonely as she can be
Her husband has died and her children don’t care
This is what Your eye’s see

I walk down a hall, down to a cell
I see a man in the dark
He tells me of all the mistakes he’s made
And then he quietly remarks:
"I want to be free, not just from this cell
But from fear that’s haunting me
Is there more to this life--I wish someone would say!"
This is what Your eye’s see

The world looks so different than it did before
I ask, “How can this be?”
Then I remember what You have said
This sight is what Your eye’s see.

Death Is Gain

He could not restrain
They needed to know
He would tell them
They waited his arrival

He traveled to them
They felt his love
He showed God to them
They received the gift

He was captured by some on a bright, fair day
They said if he didn’t deny, it would be to his death
He could not deny his Savior, Master, and God
And praised Him with his last breath

…Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Take your candle, go light your world…

…For none of us lives to himself alone
and none of us dies to himself alone
If we live, we live to the Lord
and if we die, we die to the Lord
So, whether we live or die,
we belong to the Lord…

Not About Me

Lord, I am bold to even contemplate
Thinking of myself
Caring for myself
Loving myself

Morning I wake and conspire to make
Me happy
Me glorified
Me foremost

Remind me now, let me never forget
Nothing is ever about me…
Everything is eternally about You

To You trees tremble,
Rocks worship,
Angles sing,
Elders bow,
Leaders submit,
Satin winces,
Oceans still,
Lions roar,
Authors write,
People pray,
And all of Heaven declares,
That You are God
