See Nothing In the Picture But Jesus

Life paints many a picture to us
various colours hits us between the eyes
whether it be hardship or something soft
the reality is the final day comes and dies

It's so important to value all our time
for we've only got an allotted time spell
we don't know when our span will be up
but God will say time up and ring our bell

So in this life, our eyes must be clear
look sharply into our picture to see light
whatever our view be sure of one thing
see past the mist however unclear our sight

See nothing in the picture but Jesus
reject all other sightings no matter who
Jesus is the only one that will count
in the great scheme of things, He's always true

Jesus only Jesus and only Him alone
has the wisdom power and merciful grace
to lead us through life's dark valleys
so be sure to look fully on His wonderful face
