Always Seeing Him

"…in the midst of the cloudy stormy morning—Bright Day…"

This has to be a song… At least to me these verses written by a young Christian brother in Indonesia resonate within my spirit like holy chant where divine scripture fills every word.

How wonderful it is when our eyes always set on Him
and closely follow behind Him!
and by...

always seeing Him,
we see the assurance of our faith
and the radiant hope glows so brightly,
always seeing Him,
we are transformed to be like Himself,
always seeing Him,
we are realizing the vanity of earthly wealth and glory,
always seeing Him,
we are convinced that there is no power
nor anything can separate Him from us,
always seeing Him,
we come to know that no other Beauty and Power can compare to His,
always seeing Him,
we then be enabled to chant
in the midst of the cloudy, stormy morning—Bright Day,
always seeing Him,
we have the courage to cross the river in the darkest night,
always seeing Him,
we are cheerful sheep among the foxes
’cause we trust and know Who is guarding us,
always seeing Him,
we come healed, saved and alive, because He is Risen,
always seeing Him,
we encounter Most High God and our beloved neighbor
since He is perfect Man and Perfect God,
always seeing Him,
we joyfully follow Him through the narrow way
and bearing our lovely crosses go up to Golgotha…
