Eyes shining of abundant grace
ears that hear your deepest pain
hands to feel your hidden wounds
pure lips to heal them
His purest heart shed forth its blood
to wash away foul reeking mud
He’s journeyed the path where dwells fear
to brighten your path, make frightful darkness clear
But man’s eyes harbour darkening clouds
pride and evil ways lay murky shrouds
over eyes of those live to please
other men, in pits of fire their labours shall cease
For to this pit their steps do lead
alas true love their hearts failed to heed
God dwells above giving graciously
lights and mercy their paths to lead
on my path I’ve seen my Saviour
thought not as face to face
but through your precious labour
you’ve touched my heart’s deepest place
by kindness mirth and even sorrow
through such bravely endured emotion I know
a glimpse of His shining face,
and my spirit dwells in part in Heavenly place
and though we dwell in lands apart your love and deeds live in my heart
though on dark unbalanced sand I travel glad I am that together our fates did ravel.
