With centered, loving, God-bound eyes
I look on you and, no surprise
I see past all of satan’s lies
as each one now, defeated, dies.
yet, silently, my heart just cries
and seeks an answer from the skies
for why the darkness still defies
the God Who all our freedom buys
and how could He, so very wise
let satan tie us with his ties
and teach us his depraved disguise
‘til we forget we’re meant to rise.
though we have God, yet satan vies
and tries to tempt with compromise
but yet no matter how he tries
he can’t escape his sure demise.
now God has no need to surmise
to see our sins in total size
nor does He need to improvise
a way to instruct or to chastise
He takes our sins, with no goodbyes
And buries them when we’re baptized.
now all the good our lives comprise
comes from the One Who all provides.
I look on you and my heart denies
all that sin and shame implies
my view now wholly rests, relies
on He Who sovereign grace supplies.
and where His blood He once applies
there’s nothing left now to despise
nor could satan ever devise
a way that could that blood revise
or steal us from our righteous prize.
for when your heart with God allies
and when your mind lets Him advise
and when you drop your sinful guise
it’s then your eye to heaven flies
it’s then that your soul will arise
He’ll lift your face to higher highs.
no lie can silence God’s reprise.
