Spirit Eyes

Lord, you’re moving all around us, yet with eyes open no one sees
If we could only see you present, it would bring us to our knees
 
Would we act and speak much different if we saw you by our side?
If we saw that you were watching and there's nothing we could hide?
 
Where is holy justice to you our sovereign Lord?
That because we just can’t see you, that you should be ignored?
 
We need your true perspective to guide us through this place
to know our true dependence rests on your pure and faithful grace
 
The world teaches a reality that leaves our hearts divided
So we work and struggle to gain the things you alone provided
 
Because we forget and we move on while hearts are beating still
Remind us that we only live and breathe because of your good will
 
Despite your holy promise we find such cause for fear
because we see with human eyes that fail to see you near

Troubled hearts take courage when they see their Father’s hand
So heal our eyes to see your face, and your sovereign glory stand

Give sight to the blind to see your hand working in our midst
So that we can walk with emboldened courage in part because of this
 
Give us eyes that see truth that's hidden in this world in which we live
Eyes blessed with the true and eternal vision that only you can give

Grant us eyes to see the power of our truly grace bought share
Earned by our holy brother on a cross that He alone could bear
 
Make fast our hearts that wait in longing to see your presence near
and remove the veil to see you're coming to take us far from here

Pray do not let us not be beguiled by evil's wicked song
Give our spirits eyes to see our God and the place that we belong

This "Christ"mas...

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:8-14 (NKJ) As "Christ"mas approaches it usually finds me refreshing my knowledge and understanding of what I believe that it is that we as "Christ"ians should be celebrating in our observation of the event of Christ's birth. I do this in ...

If I Worry At All...

For the last year I've been engaged in a writing project that requires me to answer a series of questions posed over the fifty two weeks of the year. My answer to the last question that I chose to answer is one that I decided to share because it's always on my heart and mind... What do you worry about? I know that worrying itself changes nothing but there are some things that cause me deep worry. And of those particular things, there are none that I have the power to change on my own, but they are instead those that I have to appeal to Christ’s mercy to intercede. I have deep worry for the souls of all of my loved ones because I know that despite all that we might find concern for in our passing through of this world, there’s only one account that will, for all time, require an answer from all of us. That response, having already been made while we journeyed here, will leave us without further opportunity to answer. Our choice, made in this current life, will leave us either pr...

An Observance And Observing True Reality...

As Easter approaches, I begin once again considering how our God sees our observance of an occasion as I always do and also what He might truly desire of us in observance above any of our trivial, man inspired traditions . What I come away with in firm conviction is the understanding that the most trivial of my sins, the least of my crimes against God, had the power to forever damn me in His judgment of me and send me into unending torment. And that knowing this one thing in truth and as reality, is key to my correct posture before God in honor of His purpose in the event. That key being the horror of knowing that the price of my very least sin was the shedding of my Christ Jesus' blood and His horrible suffering, because the reality of this brings the deep rending of my heart in awe and gratitude and it makes possible my true joy at the relief of my sentence because of what He has done. I believe this is a part of what God would desire from us in observance of Christ's death a...
