Look into my eyes Lord Look deep into my soul. See the work your hands have made I see the cost that love has paid. I gaze longingly into your eyes And as you look right back at me I am pierced as if by the nails. As you hang ****** and broken, In total surrender, you took the all; You gave up everything so I could have it all. Into your presence I come, In this moment I will stay. Let your fire fall like rain; Hear me when I pray. I turn back to you like the prodigal son I ask for forgiveness, but it's already done. I am wrapped in your cloak of grace My soul is lifted on a cloud of praise. In the rivers of your blood Comes the waters of love: Washing the earth and healing A broken world, in need of feeling Your peace and love and passion And being good is back in fashion. You satisfy the hungry heart My soul longs for you and pains. Like a man in the desert longs for rains You are living water Lord; source of life and peace. Help me surrender so that you may increase. I come to do your will and I'm grateful for the gift To be with you and seek the truth and then, in word, to lift Your holy name to share the love I've found. Take my feet and place them on solid, sacred ground Walk with me as I try to walk this road Help me bear, with patience, my load. When I lose sight of the perspective, Remind me gently the suffering you once bore. Each day Lord, help me want you more. I was lost and wandering, and you sought me out I trust you Lord from within and from without. You keep your promises, your covenant; Help me fulfill my end of the deal. I don't know what all you have in mind But I am certain of one thing: it will be divine!
