Now I See (repost for Easter)

Looking up I see

the cross

Bloodstained wood

Nine-inch nails

Reminder of

the greatest sacrifice 

Closing my tired eyes

I see

A Savior staring

back at me

Through tears of pain

sweating bullets of blood

His loving eyes say, 

"you are more than enough"

I open my eyes

See clearly

All weariness now

wiped away

His grace is enough 

for all of me

Looking up I see

the cross

My mind transformed

My life renewed 

Heart breaking 

for what breaks His

Freedom for captive

Hope for orphan

My desires are His

for love, justice, mercy, and peace 

Looking up I see

the cross

And I see myself

through my opened eyes

Lost and broken

Weak and weary

Adopted and loved

Restored and healed 

Precious in the eyes

of my loving Jesus

I see the cross

And now I can truly see
