Don't look away All my life I've had a many strange dreams;of things unheard and things not seen.Never was I ever alone;because Christ is always there for me to lean on...Once along a lonely path went I;with my Lord Jesus as my guide.The path was scattered,crying lost souls,-Don't look away Christ said. and I did as I was told.I saw a man who was deep in sin,and in his voice I heard him lie;He said God is dead,-I looked away and hung my head.Christ tlold me,don't look away.-I looked at the man's face,and in his eyes I saw what he had to say...His life was ruin,and filled with hate-He was never kind to other human beings,along life's way...with eyes of mine Christ said-look again.-And I saw this same man with a many friends...He had a new life,with wife,and child.-And teaching people about the love of God,with tears in his eyes.I saw a young woman deep in sin.A street walker she was,and a habit she had...Christ asked as we passed her by.What did I see in those drug-crazed eyes.A life in ruin I said,no potential for God in her...Christ again said.Don't look away,with eyes of mine...I looked and to my surprise I saw the woman in a different life...Amazing Grace she was singing so sweet-it made even the angels weep.Walking for God was her habit now.As she sang her songs.-This child of God is heir to the Throne...On we walked,and suddenly I stop,for in my midst there stood me,and again I was'nt free... I saw me lost and alone-All I had and ever loved was gone...In a cold dark cell condemned to die-Now I understood why Christ was at my side...I said to Christ,my life is in ruin,is death to be my just reward?Christ said .Don't look away.I turn,and saw my life differently...A beacon to all of mankind I had become,-The life of Christ reflected in me as I call on his name.I heard angel's saying that it's God's will,-This son of the King would forever live. I awoke from my dream,and began to pray,-My heavenly Father forgive me for my narrow minded ways;Give me strenght to always lok...And look once again,let me see with Christ like eyes.The Christ,and God love that exists in every life of man,woman and child...
