A Child's Eyes
Even though I am a child I see the world.You may not always see me, but I see you.
Everyone says look up, look into the sky, see the sunrise
and you will see God's glory.
But God's glory is down here, near me.
To see God's glory you don't have to strain your neck
or shield your eyes.
You can look down at me.
You can come close and hold me.
Are you afraid?
Do you see the abuse, neglect, and hunger?
Don't be afraid to see me. . .
I see you and in you I see God's glory.
In you I see the power to change th world.
But you can't change the world until you see me.
