jesus, do you see me?

Jesus I bow before your throne
with humble tears that fall
I cannot find the words to speak
yet on your name I will call.

Do you see me broken now?
A child longing for love?
Can you find the heart to forgive?
All that you’ve seen from above?

I know I’ve been here time and again
My hands to you lifted high
A bleeding heart and shaky hands
The hours on my knees I would cry…

Jesus, do you see me?
Jesus, do you care?
Jesus, can you hear me?
All my soul to you I bare.

How could I have known the truth
With the shame of sin so strong?
That every tear of pain I cried
You were holding me and crying along.

Your steady hand and gentle voice
Slowly lifted my spirit of fear
You’ve taken away my awful sins
A new me replaced in the mirror.

You say you’ve been here time and again
Holding my hands from up high
Your bleeding heart and pierced hands
And with mercy and grace you would cry….

My child, I created you!
My child, I’ve always cared!
My child, Your prayers are what kept me,
While on the cross your sins I bared.

    This is the only reason I want to write. THE ONLY REASON! So, God could give me the words to express my own stuff in the hopes that one day He would use them to encourage someone else.

    This is why I write.
