My Eyes
With my eyes
Do I see my neighbor as a child of God
Or do I blindly judge and categorize everyone
Do I see others pain and suffering
Or am I focused only on myself
With my eyes
Do I see goodness in everyone I meet
Or do I blindly see only others weaknesses
Do I see opportunities to help
Or am I blinded by my own priorities
With my eyes
Do I look beyond brokenness to hope
Or do I look down in despair
Do I see others misfortune with eyes of care
Or am I lost in my own reflection
With my eyes
Do I see opportunities to help others in need
Or do I look down or away
Do I see the gifts others have and celebrate
Or do I watch with eyes of envy
With my eyes
Do I see the hand of God in all creation
Or do I focus solely on my goals
Do I see the beauty of His presence in all things
Or do look casually at grace and take it for granted
Help me to see
Your goodness in everything
My neighbor through eyes of love
The wisdom of Your creation
Lifes trials with eyes of hope
You always and everywhere clearly
And not be blind to Your will
For I was blind but now I see
