"The LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7). "He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake... Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me" (Psalm 23:3,4). "Thy Father's commandment… shall lead thee…keep thee… talk with thee… Reproofs of instruction are the way of life" (Proverbs 6:20-23). "I [Peter] said, Not so, Lord… What was I, that I could withstand God?" (Acts 11:8,17).
The Lord is
looking on the heart
And leading us
accordingly,
But man looks on
the outward part
And cannot see
as God can see.
He leads in paths of righteousness,
Reproving us for
His name's sake.
He comforts us
in our distress
And talks with
us when we awake.
How gracious is
our Lord's command
That leads, that
keeps, and talks with us!
It is our folly
to withstand
His leading so victorious!
O Lord, You know
how much we're needing
To hear Your
voice and follow You
As You are
looking on and leading
Our hearts that
only You can view.
