Seeing the Unseen

I caught a glimpse of Him today,

Out of the corner of my eye—

And the shimmering of His glory

Made my breath catch

In my throat, and my eyes

Couldn’t hold back the tears

At His overwhelming beauty.

Lord, don’t let my heart cool

Towards You, fill me with holy

Passion, let my lips sing praise

Of You, only You. And fill

My heart with worship of You,

Only You. Worthy, worthy, worthy

Are You, Lord God Almighty!

And I hear the faint melody

Of angel voices worshipping

The One who was, and is, and

Evermore will be, eternal

Son, beloved of the Father,

Beloved by me, and I lift my

Voice to join celestial praise.

Lord, give me eyes to see Your

Beauty, give me ears to hear Your

Voice, give me a heart to thrill to

Your presence, Lord, for I

Was made for You and You alone

And my heart is restless until I

Rest in You, my Lord and God.
