It was the first time that I heard His voice

Above the gentle whisper of the sea

I felt inside that He had made His choice

And that somehow He had included me

As I looked upon the open book that was His face

And read there every comfort from above

His compassion looked beyond all my disgrace

Saw someone He could build a kingdom of

His gaze was kindness but His stare was stone

Could break your heart or somehow make you whole

Cause when He looked at you, you felt you were completely known

Because, you see, He saw you with His soul



Our eyes met once across a barren place

Where I denied I ever knew His name

What broke my heart was not the look upon His face

But knowing that He loved me still the same



It is the very way He looks upon us all

This moment seeing all that we might be

No hint of condemnation can be seen within His eyes

For He has been condemned for you and me
