When I See You

When I see you

I see the tears that you have carried for so long.

When I see you

I see the burden that you bear, I see you trying to be strong.

When I see you

I see the fears that tear your world apart.

When I see you

I see the agony that through countless years has been branded on your heart.

When I see you longing to be free

I see the architect of your destiny,

And when I see you longing to be whole

I see your soul.

When I see you

I see the living light that glows within us all.

When I see you

I see a soul that knows its purpose and is waiting to be called.

When I see you

I see a death-defying beauty that has too long been subdued.

When I see you

I see an undernourished spirit that is hungering for truth.

When I see you longing to be free

I see the architect of your destiny,

And when I see you longing to be whole

I see your soul.

When I see you

I see pain, I see trust, I see hope and despair.

When I see you

I see the promise of a new day being tenderly prepared

When I see you

I see an ever-growing longing to be whole.

When I see you

I see the fire of devotion that is burning in your soul.

When I see your spirit growing wings and learning how to fly,

I am overcome with a love for you as sweeping as the sky.

And when I see you tearing down the walls that fortify your heart,

I pray that God may enter there and guide you ever more.
