IN GOD'S EYES

IN GOD'S EYES

Most days I worry what others think of me
Mainly what inside me others see
Rarely do I stop to think how I look to God
Usually, I just smile and put on a cool façade
I feel frustrated and sad that I am not appreciated
Those feelings, good or bad, are never negotiated
I want to stop my effort and my time put in
Then THEY would see and I would win
But then who knows what could have been
What if Jesus had ended it all
Had said to stop, including to Paul
Were THEY appreciated or took for fools
All their time and efforts, they were worked like mules
But for themselves it was not for
It was God who was in their hearts and at the core
They cared only of what He thought
His love and approval was all they sought
So I will try to think only of Him
To fight and fight against all the sin
Sometimes I will do good and sometimes bad
For I am a sinner and so I do get mad
But because of the work he did and the life he gave
I will continue my work and pave the way
For who knows the lives I may touch
I may have moved on before it is such
But there is a reason, there is a plan
I may not know until the promised land
But I am cared for and my works are known about
By the heavenly father, there is no doubt
To please Him and Him alone
Is all the people who need to know
And He has already rewarded me
That my friend is enough you see
Because it was enough for the man on the cross
Who paid the price no matter what the cost
Still to this day, not always appreciated
But his love then and now, never negotiated
He gave it all for you and me
So one day in heaven we would be
