Eve’s Eyes
God I'm supposed to see things like you do
But I was born with Eve's eyes
I'm supposed to have faith and never
Doubt you but in the face of what I see
It sometimes feels impossible
I'm supposed to believe you and your word
And understand that I am, in you, limitless
There is nothing in this world I cannot
Revolutionize in you and for your glory but
Honestly, when I look at myself and I
Account for all my failures, my lack of
Resources and whatever else there is in
My way...I look back at your word like...
Are you sure? Can it really be?
And it's crazy because I know you.
I've seen you in my life and in the lives of so
Many others doing things that i've only
Ever dreamed of and yet...I look around
Like Peter on the water and I can't take the
Battering that comes with holding out and
Exercising faith in you.
But I must, I must learn to trust in you
I must gain that ability to exercise even
The mustard seed faith that makes
Mountains move when you respond.
I must learn to see me and everything like
You do and bet everything on the fact that
You are God, Lord over my life and
You Make all things possible for your glory.
I pray you teach me
I pray you ground me
Ground me God in faith that will fill the
Pages of my life with the evidence of you
Like the Bible itself and I know that this is
A dangerous prayer because no one
Achieve's God's perspective or learns this
Faith without going through the lessons
But God I rather reject Eve's eyes and grip
Your hand as I labour if it means when
You're done I come out of it with God lenses,
Fully equipped with a God's eye view, empowered to walk
According to your Spirit and according to your vision.
For in you I am
In you I live
In you I have my being
Once I was blind
But because of your touch....I see.
