Gospel
Give Me Vision, Lest I Perish
Father, I thank you for the sight with which you’ve blessed my eyes,
Allowing me to see the earth, the seas and the skies
To behold the grandeur of the mountain tops, and
To watch the falling of cool, cleansing raindrops;
But Father, I have one fervent wish,
Give me vision, lest I perish.
I need vision to be able to see
Behind the smile to the heart filled with agony,
To see the anguish that careless words can cause
And the unsaid remarks hidden in an irreverent pause,
It will take vision for me to behold
The destiny of one who wanders away from the fold
And to seek him out, and return him to home
While covering him with love, care and concern.
It was vision that caused you to die on the cross
Shedding your blood to redeem the lost
It is vision that I’ll use to see the mansion that’s mine
If my life I live to your glory divine,
And this vision to my brother I must impart
So that He, too, may one day give you his heart.
It takes one with vision to lead your sheep
To guide them along paths to pastures green
Being the channel that shows what you desire for them,
Encouraging them to press on, while inviting others in
Also, providing resources to enhance their journey,
While building your kingdom, and giving you glory.
Father, I know that my plea You’ve heard
Others I know will think it absurd
For they’ll say my eyes are fine, so I should be able to see
But Lord, how do I tell them that I need more from Thee?
For even though my eyes give sight, this is only in part
For I’ve come to realize that true vision comes from the heart
Hence, My Lord, my fervent wish,
Please, GIVE ME VISION, LEST I PERISH.
