I wish to see You......

I'd like to share the lyrics of the song which we just learned in our choir yesterday. It's about our faith and love for Jesus even if we don't see and touch Him.


Without Seeing You



Refrain:
Without seeing You we love You.
Without touching You we embrace.
Without knowing You we follow.
Without seeing You we believe.

Verse 1:
We return to You deep within, leave the past to the dust.
Turn to you with tears and fasting, You are ready to forgive. (Refrain)

Verse 2:
The sparrow will find a home near to You oh God.
How happy we who dwell with You, forever in Your house. (Refrain)

Verse 3:
For You are our shepherd there is nothing that we need.
In green pastures we will find our way, in waters of peace. (Refrain)



This is also somewhat related to the Gospel yesterday about Jesus prophesying His death. His famous words: "Unless a wheat falls into the ground and dies, he remains to be a wheat; but if it falls and dies, it will bear much fruit." But what struck me in the Gospel was the desire of the Greeks to see Jesus. "We wish to see Jesus."

May we always have the desire to see Jesus. But for now, may we always have that faith in Jesus, even if we do not see Him. May we always feel His embrace, even if we cannot touch Him.
