Look of Hope
I turn my eyes
Expectantly
Until you come
To rescue me
My eyes will turn to you
Until my heart does, too
My only hope
Is set on you
And only you
Can see me through
My heart is set on you
And I refuse to move
Until you tell me to
I choose to wait for you
I turn my eyes
Expectantly
Until you rise
To rescue me
I set my mind
On what you say
For you remain
The only way
Your will is my desire
Your word is like a fire
I cannot stop
Or hold it in
It's burning deep within
When mockers scoff
In ignorance
My spirit is in pain
To see your love
And precious blood
Be treated with disdain
So I will look
To you my king
My only hope
My everything
I owe my life
And loyalty
And every breath I breathe
To you who came
To be the hope
Of all who would believe
[As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the LORD our God,
till he shows us his mercy. Psalm 123:2, NIV]
