I Look To You

I look to You in times of loss,

Of worry, or of fear.
I know that I won’t see You, but
I will see signs You’re near.
 
I don’t expect to see You, Lord,
Amongst this life’s blessings,
But I do see your handiwork
In all the little things.
 
There are those who only believe
The things that they can see
And yet their eyes are often blind
To what I see clearly.
 
Each problem that seems too immense
For one as small as me,
At Your direction soon becomes
An opportunity.
 
The darkness gives way to the light,
A path opens at length,
And when I feel broken or lost
You fill me with Your strength.
 
Where those who won’t see find despair,
I find impending grace,
Where they see only the mundane
I look on heaven’s face.
