Eyes See

You see me, God, and You can see right through me,
not just my deeds, You see inside my soul,
my mind, my heart down deep You see into me,
each part of me You see, and see me whole.

You give me eyes of faith to see You too,
to see through nearby clouds, through stars so far,
the outward signs of Eucharist, right through,
to see Your Spirit, Lord, wherever You are.

Why did You give my faith these powerful eyes?
As I can’t hide, You too won’t hide from me,
to show my soul, although my body dies,
will see You, God, for all eternity.

No more with eyes of faith, I’ll see You clear,
but first I must believe in You down here.
