My Image of You

When I look at you I don't see what you see,
the flaws don't stand out like they do when you look in the mirror
I don't see the bags under your eyes, or the extra skin that you say is there
I don't see the bruises and scars that you try to hide


I don't see what you see


I see your light, and love
I see how you take care of those around you
I see how true you are to being the person Jesus wants you to be
I see your genuine love for serving
I see the dedicated worker you are


I don't see what you see


I see the love you have for your family
I see the way that you include people you don't even know
I see how you put others before yourself


I don't see what you see


I see how you prayerfully consider what road to journey down next
I see how you move mountains for those that need help
I see how you work to bring about change
I see your strength in your beliefs


I don't see what you see


I don't see the tears that you cry at night for the love that was lost
I don't see the heartache you wear everyday because you think you are not good enough
I don't see how you question and analyze if you will ever be loved
I don't see the way that you put yourself down, over and over again


I don't see what you see


I see you through the eyes of our Father
I see how you were created for good
I see how He works through you to touch others
I see how He molds you to be more and more like Him each day
I see the change in you, I see your light


I don't see what you see


I see you the way He meant you to be
