The Eyes of Christ

I look into the eyes of Christ; they are a burning fire
Exposing all my selfish ways and every heart's desire
His eyes are inescapable while in His arms of love
So fight them, fear them or surrender and let them burn you up

For only what is done for Christ will last
Only what is good and pure may pass
Burn away indignity and pride
All the guilt and anger that I hold deep inside
Consume the kindling of each unkind word
And lick up every piece I've piled of unacknowledged hurt
Save me with the flames that purify
As I pass by the eyes of Christ

The only thing I have to fear is to remain the same
These burdens of inequity, no longer mine to claim
They vanish in a wisp of smoke; they fade into the air
my impure thoughts and behaviors are no longer found there

For only what is done for Christ will last
Only what is good and pure may pass
Burn away indignity and pride
All the guilt and anger that I hold deep inside
Consume the kindling of each unkind word
And lick up every piece I've piled of unacknowledged hurt
Save me with the flames that purify
As I pass by the eyes of Christ

For only what is done for Christ will last
Only what is good and pure may pass
