When I gaze at You,
oh God,
everything else seems to
fade away.
The noise
The hate
The chaos
The conflict
It all fades away, for You claim my
attention – You have claimed my heart.
Nothing disappears or is magically solved.
It just does not claim
me.
When I gaze at You, I am
rescued –
I am rescued from the
quicksand.
When I gaze at You, I am
convicted –
why would I ever give myself to lifeless pursuits.
So whenever I feel myself being pulled into the
quicksand,
I gaze at You and I am
rescued.
Oh my Father God, through Christ Jesus my Lord,
I – am – FREE.
