God’s Gaze

# God's Gaze

You look upon me not with judgment's weight

But with a gaze that knows me, knows my fate

My struggles, sins, and fears you fully see

Yet your compassion moves toward only me

I am loved, I am seen, I am known

Not by what I become, but where I'm shown

In this present moment, holy and true

I'm awakened to the love that's always been you

Thank you for the gift of being known

For friendships mirroring faithfulness shown

For creation speaking beauty all around

For the grace to recognize when grace is found

Teach me rest in what you've given now

Not some distant prize, but here, and how

You're not waiting at the end of my climb

Holiness is waking up to present time

When peace rises up, I'll trust your voice

When anxiety comes, show me what I'm holding—not choice

But even in my doubt and my retreat

You love me still; that love is my heartbeat

You sought me first because you love me so

Not waiting for my seeking—that's what I know

Transform my heart through this sacred call

Make me more like you, my all in all
