Beside Still Waters

His Eyes

BY RUSANNE CAROLE

His eyes His gaze His love Like no other

His eyes Watching, always watching and protecting ~ never far away

His eyes weep for His people He stands in the gap to intercede

His eyes closed for a time when He hung on the Cross and was laid in a tomb

But there was a plan There was an appointed time where His eyes were to open as He laid His life down for mankind

His eyes opened! His body rose! His eyes had faced the enemy, and He won!

I win when my eyes are upon Him I receive the salvation He came to gift to all of us who accept Him I receive eternal life ~ the most precious gift ever bestowed

I receive peace when I gaze into His eyes I receive love when I gaze into His eyes I receive all the things needed to endure, persevere, and run the race He has set forth for me

I turn my gaze completely to His precious, beautiful, calming eyes, and I am complete

He sees me now and forevermore

And on that day when our eyes finally meet And my gaze is face to face I will be home in the eyes and the arms of my first and forever LOVE
