The God Who Sees

Hagar was a single mother

She was abandoned by the family she belonged to

And there in the wilderness with her son alone

With very little provision

She was wondering

She was questioning

Does anyone care?

She's crying in the desert

She's lost in her despair

She thinks nobody loves her

Hagar thinks nobody's there

But God says

I will be a ring of fire around her

And I will be the glory in her midst

And the power of my presence

Will bring her to her knees

And I will lift her up again

For I'm the God who sees

I'm the God who sees

Then He speaks in gentle whispers

And He softly calls her name

She feels His arms enfold her

As He holds her

And she'll never be the same

'Cause I'm the God who never changes

And My promises are true

And when this world deserts you

This is what I'll do

And there is another woman named Ruth

She was from the land of Moab

And she was met with grief and heartache

She was a widow and she lived with her mother-in-law, who was also a widow

And now it was time to move on

But Ruth had never been to Bethlehem

She had never tasted of the House of Bread

But now she had heard an inner invitation to come and taste and see

And so she vowed herself to her mother-in-law

And she said where you go I will go

Where you lie I will lie

Where you die I will die

And she begins a journey to the Promised Land

She's traveling through the desert

And she's leaving her despair

She's hoping for a future

Praying God will lead her there

And He says

I will put a ring around you finger

And I will bless a child within your womb

And the Savior will be born through you

To free the world from sin

And He'll make all things new for you

And love you back to life again, again

And then from Ruth who gave birth to a son

Obed who gave birth to a son

Jesse who gave birth to a son

Named David

Now the same, once shepherd boy

Mighty warrior, anointed king is alone

Terrified in the darkness

He's hiding in the desert

He's battling despair

David thinks his life is over, it's over

And God, He doesn't care

But God says

I will be the Rock of your salvation

I'll hold you up by the strength of My right hand

And the power of My Spirit

Will free you from all fear

In the hour of your deepest need

You'll find that I am near

I am here

And I will be a ring of fire around you

And I will be the glory in your midst

And the power of My presence

Will bring you to your knees

Then I will lift you up again

For I'm the God who sees

And then from the line of David

Finally, Jesus the Messiah

The Anointed One, Yeshua, the Christ

Born in the same House of Bread to be the Bread of Life

In the town of Bethlehem

And He would grow

And He would be called the Son of God

He would be called Emmanuel, God With Us

And He would heal, and He would reveal

And then He had an encounter with a woman

Named Mary of Magdalen who was plagued by demons

Tormented by evil spirits, and Jesus set her free

And Mary followed Him, she listened at His feet

She served Him, and she loved Him

Oh how she loved Him

But then she watched as they nailed Him to the cross

And as they placed His body in the tomb

In that moment her hope died, it died

She's crying in the garden

She's broken in despair

She's searching for her Savior

But His body isn't there

Then He says, Mary

Glory, glory, glory, Hallelujah

I will be the glory in Your midst

And every knee will bow to Me

And every tongue confess

Yes all the world will worship Me

In all My Holiness

I will be a ring of fire around you

And I will be the glory in your midst

And the power of My presence

Will bring you to your knees

And I will lift you up again

For I'm the God who sees, who sees

I'm the God who sees

Oh I'm the God who sees, I see you

I'm the God who sees you in your wilderness

Sees you in your brokenness

When you're feeling lonely, I'm the God who sees

In the desert places, in your empty spaces

I'm the God who sees

I'm nearer than you dare believe

Here in the very air you breathe

I'm the God who sees

You
