God Sees

There are times when I feel

As though nobody knows

What I’m going through –

How sad it is, how empty

How I struggle with pain

That almost overpowers me.

Yes there are times when I’m tempted

To think I’m all alone,

But GOD SEES.

There are times when

I really thought I was doing something good

For someone I love

But then that loved one

Misunderstands

And I feel as though every effort

I’ve made were in vain.

Yes, it felt so bad

And it seemed all my works were useless,

But GOD SEES.

How often have we wanted

Others to see who we truly are

Or what’s really going on

Deep down inside,

But try as we might

We are either rejected

Or passed by unnoticed

As though we didn’t matter,

As though we weren’t there?

For all such times

And for all such hurts

May we always remember

That though people may fail to see

And may fail to know,

There is One who always knows,

Who knows us so intimately.

Everyone else’s eyes may go blind,

But GOD SEES.
