Psalm 140:8
8 For my eyes are toward You, O God, the Lord;
In You I take refuge; do not leave me defenseless.
That one view

That One view of things, that special view
outside our favorite window, or driving along our favorite road
We know it’s coming, and wait with anticipation, as we round the corner
and Aaahhh, there it is, those trees, that mountain, those fields
and our heart leaps inside of us, as if seeing it for the first time.
Perhaps for others, it’s the ocean waves
beckoning us to come out of hibernation, after the long winter’s chill
We drive the straightest course to get there,
We hasten to the water’s edge, for soon the land shall cease
and you will stand before the vast beauty, feet firmly planted on the beach
Or how about the glory of fresh fallen snow,
everything white, everything pure and clean, nothing but white, everywhere
and the fragrance of frozen air permeates all it touches
fresh air, clean, white and pure beauty, as far as the eye can see
We bundle up warm, just to venture out into it’s glory
wishing that snow had waves, to wash away our footprints behind us
but none of these beauties, none of these scenes, can even begin to compare
to fixing our eyes upon Jesus, the One and Only Son of God
To gaze upon Him is to touch love, to handle grace in our hands
No One who looks upon Him, truly seeing who He is,
the Word made flesh is ever the same again,
to look with wonder into the face of God, the heart of our Lord
Now that is the One view; that One view, I yearn for
that is the One view; that One view, I live for
