Sarah's Prayer

Look upon my face O Father
I have come to seek You in this place
For I long to give reflection
To the awesome glory of Your grace

Search my soul and heart to see
Traces of my Lord in me

But the blemishes of ages
Fall across my eyes as though a veil
As I stumble back and turn
I realize I could not bear Your gaze

Therein lies the stain of sin
Bowed and broken child within

If I close my eyes completely
Maybe I will see me as You do
Not a broken child, but precious
Someone that You long to be with too

As the truth brings me to tears
Precious Father, hold me here near
