I don't really have much to lead into this poem.
Mathew 6: 21 and Luke 12:34 say "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Where is yours?
Never Letting Me Escape Your Eye
For all the earthly treasures I sought before I searched for you
For all the desires I dreamt about before I desired you
For all times I went alone and turned from the Kingdom
I hang my head in shame
For all the deception I let seep into my heart
For all the greed I let take me over
For all the dishonesty I learned to live in
I bow my head in humility
When I went away, You stayed close by
never letting me escape your eye
For all the times You pulled me back onto my feet
For every time you caught me when I fell
For all my tears you dried when everyone turned away
I lift my hands in praise
For mending my broken heart
For carrying me when I was weary
For giving me the strength to go forward
I open my heart with adoration and thanksgiving
When I went away, You stayed close by
never letting me escape your eye
For all the blessings you shower over me
For keeping me special in your eyes
For being my friend and always loving me
I raise my hands and heart to you
For giving Your one and only treasure
to pay for the world's sin
For sending rainbows and keeping promises
For forgiving deception and greed
I'll trade in all my earthly treasures just to be
held by You in Heaven one day.
Cause When I went away,
You stayed close by
Never letting me escape your eye.
The Lord really is everywhere and with us always. Psalms 139: 7-10 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in [c]hell, behold, You are there.
9If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.
For all the earthly treasures I sought before I searched for you

This poetry is not only Praise to God but it is also a testimony of His work in my life. Even when I haven't paid attention, He was there through it all. God Loves Me even though I am not perfect and that's enough for me.
