Do you ever feel that way?
The years flow swiftly
and my heart has trouble
keeping pace.
But there is ONE who sees with eyes
that are true,
and HE would call me close
to see with eyes
made new with HIS sight.
Shadows
Turn my eye to you
Love bids my heart come, look in
The shadows all fade
--Bettie Gilbert
Beauty
The beauty of youth
Fades, the mist and shadows spin
Eye of Love sees true.
--Bettie Gilbert
"The eye is the lamp of the body. You draw light into your body through your eyes, and light shines out to the world through your eyes. So if your eye is well and shows you what is true, then your whole body will be filled with light."
Matthew 6:22 (The Voice)
Are your eyes weary with the shadows
or the fading of light?
Will you look with me
for eyes made pure
and vision restored
from a light within?
I pray that we will lift our lamps
Will you look with me
for eyes made pure
and vision restored
from a light within?
I pray that we will lift our lamps
to catch the light
that Jesus brings
and take Joy in a Love that sees true.
