CLOSE YOUR EYES AND SEE

If the blind put their hand in God's they find
their way more surely than those who see
but have not faith or purpose. --- Helen Keller

Close your eyes and see,
See your world in the dark;
Dark and blue sky come together,
Together as clouds in midnight dreams.
Dreams tell their own stories,
Stories so full of anxiety and joy;
Joy and worry paint fading pictures,
Pictures made with watercolors in the rain.
Rain falls against the windows,
Windows shut against raging storms,
Storms of life: storms of anger, storms of sorrow,
Sorrow as blood that floods the eyes of  Jesus Christ.

Christ and Christ alone opens our hearts,
Hearts with eyes closed in fear of what will get in;
For sorrow He gives joy; for anger, sovereign grace,
Grace quenches fury and holds the sainted sinner close.
