I looked up to the cross and down deep inside I saw redemption and the shame I can't hide I looked up to the heavens and down on the city streets Now and then I glimpsed where hurt and healing meets I looked from the four ends of the earth And there I experienced a kind of rebirth I looked from the richest to the poorest of there Where I stood there was more to wealth than what I see I saw that they were joyful, so warm and real They lived with such enthusiasm; such zeal! I looked up from my little world to see what awaited I saw there a great big place so wonderfully created I looked back and saw that things had shifted I began to see how I was gifted I looked to God and saw his Merciful Heart And in my inmost being a change would start I looked to God and saw his Precious Blood And I was washed clean in that Holy Flood I looked to God and saw his Body Broken And I saw him with arms Held Open I looked to God and felt a kind of Power That remains every day until my Final Hour
