I Wish (Shannon)

I wish you could see the me that God sees

Then how would you feel about the glitter that is not gold....just the stuff of fools

If you could see the hypocrite

The failure, the massive procrastinator

The liar God placed His truth in

Could you love me? Could you live with me?

I wish you could see, the me God knows

The scared child he holds so securely

The one who gets easily distracted and can't quite learn the lessons right

If you could see her, you'd see I'm not saved cuz I'm good or perfect but because I need my saviour daily, desperately, literally...

He is the air I breathe

But you don't see, and I must be glad

Because in this, God is gracious to me.

He is not just protecting me but also His perfect purposes to be revealed in me

Because the vessel may be cracked but the great potter is working on filling the cracks, so she may be filled and poured out, living water

For the greater Glory of God.
