I don’t think I’d want to see through Your eyes
The choices You face, the tears that You cry
You bring it together in Your perfect way
But it must break Your heart to look on our pain

The choices we make as we cling to our pride
Our secrets destroy us, as we stubbornly hide
We try to hold on to what cannot be held
We pass on Your joy, as we think of ourselves

C
I want to love the way that You do
I want a heart that will always be true
Filled with compassion, seasoned with grace
Quick to show mercy, the first to embrace
Give me Your words to comfort the poor
Give me Your hands to heal and restore
I want to love the way that You do
But I can’t on my own, so make me anew

V
I can’t understand, the world You see
How it all fits together in divine mystery
I don’t understand Your mercy and grace
When we’ve turned from presence, and hid from Your face
