One of the little ones where I preach, Climbed up high to look around To see as far as his sight could reach, To see each scene, to hear each sound.
He felt so big, as he could see What seemed to him to be so far, Amazed at how big the world could be, Nothing there his wonder could mar.
But as he contemplated all he saw, A question formed in his young mind, His heart was filled with respectful awe, Hoping that an answer he could find.
“When God looks down from up on high From His great home in heaven’s land, When He gazes here from over the sky, What does He see, is it what He planned?”
Oh, from the mouth of this little one Comes wisdom that adults should learn, What really matters, when all’s said and done: “What does God see” should be our concern.
I know that God sees a world gone astray Filled with hatred and every evil thing, He sees mankind trying to make his own way, But leaving His will in most everything.
But I am more interested, I must admit, In what He sees when He looks at me; Does He see someone for His kingdom fit? Someone who is ready for eternity?
Does He read a heart full of faith and love? Does He see actions that serve Him well? Does He hear thoughts centered on Christ above, With a tongue His message prepared to tell?
Good question, little one, I must say, What does God see when He looks down? Does He see the things in me each day, Which will earn for me a heavenly crown?
If you are in a place where you can see Miles and miles and all around, Ask yourself this question, honestly, What does God see when He is looking down?
