Lord Help Me To Grasp That Fact

Lord,
You see me as a saint
While I see myself a sinner
You see me on the next page
As I'm stuck on this one dog eared
You see me as beyond myself
I see me where I'm at
You see me like nobody else
Please help me to grasp that fact

Lord,
You see me through your sacrifice
I fall down on my knees 
You see me through the breath of life
In you I need to breathe
You see me in pure love
A love I'd love to have
You tell me that you are enough
Please help me to grasp that fact

Lord,
You see me in eternity 
I see myself finite
You see me beyond the veil of humanity
I've yet to turn on that light
You see me as your greatest creation
I see all that I lack
Over me you have elation
Please help me to grasp that fact
