Believing is seeing

*~*~*

A song I've been playing over and over again is
Wonderful Wonder by Ginny Owens
(one of my favorite artists)

I'm even more blown away by her life though...
she is blind


yet has seen so clearly what we are to long for. This song makes me cry because I am not only encouraged by her faith that is not based on her human limitations.. but it is also the cry of my heart! The song talks about what she cannot see (which makes my heart sink because I enjoy looking at all of these!...i am so thankful for the beauty of it all) but.....she has this clear vision of what we must fix the eyes of our heart upon!! JESUS!


I don't know the ocean is crystal blue.
And I don't climb the mountains for the view.
Or wish upon the stars above my head.
Or bear witness to a marvelous sunset.

But the very thoughts of things I have never seen...
Is all it takes to bring me to my knees.

O, what a wonderful wonder!
A display of great beauty and power.
O, what a wonderful wonder!
You are, to me.

I wish I could see life through Your eyes.
To gaze upon the canvas from Your side.
To understand all that has been before.
And to realize the plans You have in store.

But when I want to know what I do not see...
You will give me the courage to believe.

I can hardly wait until the time.
When You will turn the darkness into light.
And I finally find my way to heaven's door.
Where I won't need my faith anymore.

And when my eyes behold Your Majesty.
I will join with the angels and sing!!!



Thank you, Holy Spirit...
for opening the eyes of my heart!
And transforming me!







I would have this no other way.
