See Me As I Am Poem by Alicia Gail Lightsey

If you could "SEE ME AS I AM" you would realize
I am not somewhere up there beyond the bright blue sky.
If you would seek my truth I'd reveal myself to you-
Open the windows of your heart and let my light shine through.
Little by little you will glimpse my face,
but you cannot identify me with the human race.
Like a seed I'm invisible, the Creator of Mankind-
Not just a fragment of your mind.
As the self seeks the soul, I grow and unfold
I am the universe in harmony, all life I behold.
I took a piece of clay to mold in my hand
I shaped it to my desire then I called it a man.
I blew my breath into him to give him life,
so he wouldn't be lonely, I made him a wife.
I filled man with hopes and let him dream dreams
I gave him power to do impossible things.
When he went on his way and found himself lost
I sent JESUS to find him and charged him no cost.
"SEE ME AS I AM", I sent my Son to you
I gave you my best and what did you do?
Through divine grace, He wasn't loss
When you nailed his hands and feet to the cross.
Take a closer look, "SEE ME AS I AM" today
I sent my Son before me to prepare the way.
He's the Savior of the world, the sacrificial lamb;
Now come a little closer and "SEE ME AS I AM."
