Eyeing Everything

"The LORD'S throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men" (Psalm 11:4). "The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.... Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?" (Proverbs 15:4,11).

The Lord is ruling on the throne;
He has His eye on everything.
He tries the hearts of all His own,
He is their Shepherd and their King.

The Lord is eyeing every place,
Beholding bad and good as well,
Persuading souls to seek His face,
To turn their hearts away from hell.

We thank You, Lord, that You provide
The vision to behold Your love,
That shows us there's a Place to hide,
In Christ upon His throne above.

Lord, knowing that Your eyes behold
Our every motive, word, and deed,
Refine our hearts as tested gold
To purge the sin we do not need.
