I Look

I look at the world and I am wearied -

lost in its troubles, clueless of its cure

I look at others and I am worried -

envious of their possessions, comparing myself to them

I look at Jesus and I see the cross

reminded of its purpose, rebuked of my attitude

I look at Him and I turn my sighs into praise

recalled his saving grace, tongue-tied of its glory
