I see Thee, Lord Jesus,
For you have given me
a gift of vision.
I look up to Thee,
Son of Man
and Son of God,
shining as the sun,
neither red, yellow,
black nor white.
Thy beauty engulfs me,
Thy goodness,
Thy perfection,
Thy love
melts my heart
and draws me to Thee
yet shames me also,
for I see my sinfulness,
that I am soft
where I should be hard,
I am hard
where I should be soft!
Thy great light
shames my darkness
which shows that
I am so unworthy
of Thy love,
yet you give it freely
for the healing
of my soul!
