July 26.99: Light For The Day - "To See You Lord"

"Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God."
-- Matthew 5:8 (RSV)

"To See You Lord"

Sometimes I wish that we could meet 
And sit down face to face.
And I would know Your will for me
Through your amazing grace.

I'd hear You speaking audibly
And see Your precious smile.
I'd see the gentleness in Your eyes
And rest in it awhile.

I know that what I'm asking
Isn't possible right now,
And so today as yesterday,
My head to You I'll bow.

The words I speak come from my heart
As only You could know,
And I'll pray a blessing on them now 
That You will make it so.

Please help me Lord to trust in You
To each day on You rely.
And when my burdens cast me down
My thoughts to you will fly.

And may I daily be in Your word,
Your will for me to know.
And may Your Holy Spirit lead me
Everywhere I go.

I thank You Lord for all You do
Each day to keep me near,
Because knowing You're watching over me
Makes my thoughts of You ever dear.
