What I See
by Paul Q of Xristozo
Looking out on this country
My heart begins to rise
Not because of all the things
That we have done right
But because my spirit’s seeing
Something greater than my eyes
There’s a wind of Heaven moving
Breathing hope back into life
I see the hurt behind the anger
The wounded and ashamed
So many souls still searching
For healing from their pain
But mercy’s standing in the darkness
Calling every heart by name
And the Father’s arms are open
For the ones who’ve lost their way
Oh can you hear it now
Love is calling out
Broken heart arise, hold to faith
It’s not too late to leave your chains
Lift up your tear-stained eyes
Heaven’s called your name
Come as you are, leave the fear
You don’t have to hide
Grace has opened the door wide
You new life is a breath away
There’s a generation waiting
To finally be set free
Not by power, not by politics
But truth that makes us free
And every prodigal returning
Is another victory
As the light of Christ keeps shining
Through the darkest enemy
So let revival start within us
Let compassion lead the way
Give us eyes to see the broken
Like You see us every day
And when this world is filled with hatred
Let Your church still be a flame
Lifting high the name of Jesus
Till the lost come home again
Turn around and see the ground
From the dust you will arise
From broken lives hope is found
Faith will rise like morning light
Chains will fall, hearts awaken
Mercy speaks and fear must bow
There is healing in His presence
You don’t have to wander now
Broken heart arise, hold to faith
It’s not too late to leave your chains
Lift up your tear-stained eyes
Heaven’s called your name
Come as you are, leave the shame
There is hope today
Love has rolled the stone away
The price is already paid today
There’s a wind of Heaven moving
Breathing hope back into life
And the ones the world abandoned
Are still precious in His sight
Broken hearts are being mended
Eyes once blind will see again
There is mercy for the weary
There is new life found in Him
