Who Do You See When You See Me?

Who do you see when you see me?
Do you see in me what God sees?
Perfectly created, fashioned in God’s likeness
Filled with light, spoken into being within brightness
Who do you see when you see me?

Loved, cared for and adored
God’s heartbeat, blessed assured!
Nothing missing, nothing broken
Whole, complete, I’m God’s precious token
It’s not hard to see that God loves me
Who do you see when you see me?

Enveloped in God’s favour
God’s love to infinitely savour
You can attempt to fathom why
But it would be useless to try
God loves me, it’s plain to see
Who do you see when you see me?

I and God are one
Ever since this world begun
When God sees me, God sees God self
There’s none other like me on the shelf
God looks at me, and loves what God sees
Who do you see when you see me?

I revel in God’s connection
And appreciate God’s affection
I have long life, and can’t count the days
Life is so sweet, I’m forever amazed
God’s eyes are always on me
Who do you see when you see me?

I know that God’s thoughts of you are the same
The fact that we don’t always know it is no shame
Just connect with God within you
In preference of ignoring your outer view
You will see what God sees
For the beauty that God sees in you, God also sees in me!
Now, who do you see when you see me?
