In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. 9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. (Hebrews 2:8-9 NIV)
But I See Jesus!
Based on Hebrews 2:8-9
By the Holy Spirit through Lee McDougald
Through this life I walk as an instrument of His love.
Endowed with His grace and His power from above.
I know not what lies beyond the next bend of the road.
But I know Jesus is always with me to lighten the load.
My Father rules from His Throne,over what is and is to be.
Yet as His child, I don’t always see great victory.
Yet, from time to time I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
I know Jesus has walked this same path before, and will guide me with His steps.
Things don’t always go according to His or my plan.
But nevertheless, they are still subject to His Mighty Loving Hand.
Often, i’m in life’s boat as it is tossed and wind tattered.
But I see Jesus asleep as if it didn’t matter.
But just as destruction seem to be my destiny.
Jesus awakens and says “peace be still!” and pours that same peace upon me.
When sickness and disease invade my body and soul,
I struggle and faint down this path I go.
But I see Jesus who by His stripes I am healed, took all my infirmities and sickness
to the Cross for me to yield.
Sometimes I lack provision to make it from day to day.
Could it be that I’ve wandered and traveled the wrong way?
What will I eat? What will I wear? Are the questions I ask.
But I see Jesus who has completed the task!
But I see Jesus who says: My Kingdom seek ye first and drink from My well as you will never thirst! So when things happen that I don’t understand.
But I see Jesus who is holding my hand.
And sometimes dark clouds of life obscure my view,
I know that above the clouds His ever shining light will soon break through.
So through life’s pain, sorrow and grief,
But I see Jesus
To Him they bow in defeat!
