I Upward Glanced I heard Him speak as up the hill I plod And I believed he was the Son of God For what he preached upon the mount that day Changed my life and took my pain away Multitudes had gathered in this place I upward glanced into the Prophet’s face He spoke of God’s forgiveness of man’s sin He looked at me as I looked up at him. On burro’s back to Jerusalem Jesus came The people gathered ‘round to praise His name I upward glanced at Him as he rode by And He looked down at me with loving eye I saw Him pace in silence up the street And fell in reverence at His Holy feet The burden of a heavy cross He bore To save my sinful spirit evermore My head was bowed so humbly to the ground But it was not a lowliness I found For when I upward glanced His face to see He stood above me smiling down at me I followed to the hill where He was hung To witness deeds that could not be undone Crucified by those who didn’t believe So sorrowfully I hung my head to grieve But it was not a sorrow that I felt Before the cross of Jesus where I knelt For when I upward glanced into his face He was looking down in Heavenly Grace I followed then to see the rocky tomb Where He was buried in the earth’s cold womb I hid there near the rock both night and day And bowed my head in reverence to pray My tears were flowing from the spirit deep But it was not unhappiness, this weep For I was lifted upward by a Light That fell upon my head and pierced the night And when I upward gazed into the skies He was looking down into my eyes He said, you are forgiven of your sins As I was humbly glancing up at Him Now every night I bow my head in prayer I somehow know that He is always there For when I upward glance into the night He pours into my soul His Heavenly Light Elizabeth Santos |
