If I keep my eyes on you,
my Prize,
nothing will ever loose me from your clutch
and I will finish the race knowing
that nothing they did could stop me
from knowing you,
seeing the love in your eyes and wanting it,
from doing what you called me to
even when it hurt.

If I know that your arms are outstretched,
my Comforter,
then I will run full force into them.
When this hurt drives me to my knees
I know you'll be catching my tears
and crying with me.

If I know you stand before me,
my Conqueror
I can lay all these things at your feet
This hurt, pain, loneliness, shame, brokenness
and find rest.
The pain that is mine,
and the pain that I carry for others,
I lay it down.

Lock your gaze with mine,
so I can see the blazing love in your eyes
and be carried through.
