When You Look At Me ............
What Is It You See
When You Look At Me
Can You See My Scars, Silvered With Age
Old Wounds That Once Festered With Rage
Can You See My Shyness Around Strangers Or My Social Anxiety
My Fear Of Being Judged By A Cruel Unfeeling Society
My Reluctance To Leave The Sanctuary Of My Home
How In My Nervousness I Get A Little Loud And Tell Bad Jokes
As The Love Jesus Has For Me They Try To Comprehend
Some Are Sincere And Genuine In Their Questions
Others Seem Angry And Full Of Aggression
What They Don't Realize And That I Try To Impart
Is Jesus Loves Them Too Exactly The Way They Are
He Created Us With All Of Our Imperfections
So That We Would Lean On Him For Guidance And Protection
He See's You Exactly As He See's Me
He Loves Us All, Even When We Are Stubborn And Refuse To See
When We Fully Commit And Stop Being Double Agents
He Wraps Us In Love So Pure And So Gracious
Your Burdens Will Lift And You'll Feel Light And Vivacious
His Blessings Will Immediately Begin To Blanket You In Warmth And Security
He Helps Us To Rid Ourselves Of All Our Impurity's
He Waits For Us To Seek Him Out As He Never Loses Sight Of Us
For Many Years I Lived Life Always Trying To Catch That Elusive Happy Bus
When I Should Have Been On My Knees Looking Up
I Always Thought Growing Up I Was The Kid God Forgot
I'd Vow To Be Good Then Mess It Up All In One Shot
I Eventually Realized I Was Unable To Be Good Enough For God
So I Lived Life Feeling Downtrodden And Odd
