Seeing you

seeing with the eyes of faith
recognition comes easily
your hand in my life
well known and loved
your words on my lips
satisfying and sweet
your love in my heart
deep and healing
seeing with the eyes of doubt
recognition struggles
your hand in my life
tentative and awkward
your words on my lips
halting and dumb
your love in my heart
weak and mean
and yet eyes filled with faith
or eyes filled with doubt
I believe
and I hold your hand in mine
and I speak your words of love
and my heart finds you
deep in the core of my being
and my eyes are drawn to you
again and again and again
and I know you
my Jesus
my Lord
