Look
Look
By Jackson Nethercutt
People say He’s not there
Because He’s not in our sight
But He’s just like the wind
Whistling throughout the night
Why do people not believe it
Because they’ve never seen Him before
Why do they have to see it
When He’s right at you’re door
He’s here always watching
From day’s begin to day’s end
He is a tamed lion
Dangerous, but you’re friend
And if He’s not here
Then where are you
He is loving, but feared
He is me, He is true
But He’s not truly me
He is just a large part
If you really want to find Him
Look into my heart
Because he still walks these streets
When it’s all said and done
With scarred hands and scarred feat
He’s brighter than the sun
But it is His humility
That keeps Him so discreet
But if you stop and look around
You know He can’t be beat
How can you find Him
When you don’t ever look
Because if you doubt Him
Look into His book
Because He is always here
If we stop to look and see
Because He was once destroyed
To set us all free
So you can hate, you can doubt
But if you do you’re a lie
Because He’s what life’s about
And you’ll find out when you die.
