Through Your Eyes

May 12, 2011 reflectinghisradiance

I ask You why You don’t leave me,

You say that You want to love me.

You allure, romance and pursue,

The whispers you speak tell me I am desired.

Your love for me does not depend

On whether I grow or bend, embrace or reject.

You beckon me closer, but I fear Your embrace.

A love so deep You offer tonight,

You willingly died so we could be one.

But my heart You desire to invade.

Can I be so close to One so mysterious?

Through Your eyes, I look so different

Than the woman I see, but fear to reveal.

You lift off the veil and break down the walls.

When You see what I hide, I scarce can believe,

The love in Your eyes, You even would die.

I’m accepted.  I’m safe to be laid bare.

In the eyes of Jesus, I am His beloved.

Let Your tender love erode

The walls of stone I’ve built,

Till once again, I can rejoice in Your love,

Receiving, filled and spilling over,

So all the world can see the love of Jesus.
