What do you see Father?
What do you see when you look at me?
What do you see when you look at them?....at us?
Do you see our pain and agony?
Do you see our raw savage ugliness?
Do you see deep into our hearts?
Do you see the longing for sin that pulls us over and over again.....
Do you see the tears flowing down as we carve out another scar?
Do you see the shoulders heaving up and down from sobs so deep?
Do you see past the fake smile and into the scar-ridden heart?
Do you see beauty when looking on my face?
Do you see worth?
Do you see a slave or someone free?
Do you see my chains that held me so tightly?
Do you see a face smeared with dark shadows?
Or do you see a face rinsed free?
Do you see?
Do you see a son or daughter who throws themselves at Your feet?
Do you see a heart redeemed?
Do you see the cross on which You gave Your all for me?
Do you see...all of me?
Do You see the broken pieces....and still love me?
How can this be?!
How can your eyes light up so much when you come near me?
How can your heart long after mine?
How can you speak such truth into my heart, the way you do....
Your grace....your grace.....it covers me.
It covers my pain and my dark secrets.....
It reaches into the most brokenness of places....and covers me.
Your grace.....will I ever understand it?!
Can you teach me Father please?
Help me to see....
the way that you see.
