An original hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann Snowball below.  YouTube video: Because He Sees

When Jesus taught the multitudes So many gathered ‘round.

But I had sinned and was afraid To hear his uttered sounds.

I only wanted, just one time, To look upon his form,

So I hid quietly and watched One very early morn.

At first He did not see me there; The crowd had joined en masse.

But soon He looked right in my eyes; His care I could not pass.

How could it be?  He caught my glance And I could only see,

As I looked in his tender eyes, Love focused right at me.

Then, never to adjust my stare Became my earnest plea.

As I returned his precious gaze I felt that I was free.

My heart no longer wanted sin; His love was all I knew.

His piercing, but so gentle eyes Were all I had to view.

To me it was a miracle That I was singled out!

I know his love is his great gift; Of this I have no doubt.

Forever I will look to him; He lives eternally.
