See

Do you see me splitting at the seams
as I shed the former me
the inner part struggles be free
broken discarded branches from a sinful tree

Do you see
the light that was hidden within
taking me to a place I have never been
reborn of spirit part of a plan I know myself I can begin

Do you see
beyond this infintesimal hour
there is majesty and wonder within His power
approachable and real, not in some ivory tower

I see you splitting at the seams
I am your witness I can see
brother and sister, part of the same tree
we have discovered inner truth now we are free 

We are seen
beyond our imperfections
foolish past sins and indiscretions
burdens left at the cross, He has no recollection
