Looking Beyond
LOOKING BEYOND
I look beyond my faults
And what do I see?
The mistakes, the bad decision
That follows me.
I look beyond my faults
To control the stain of
Guilt and shame that
Hovers over me
I look beyond my faults
Trying to push the tears away-
Of my contempt and my dismayed
I look beyond my faults-
To gather a sense of reality.
But in the end
Glory be to God, He is the gift that keeps
On giving. The power, the might,
He will make everything alrignt
By looking beyond my faults
