Looking On You

English

Primary Scripture: Lamentations 3:22

Verse 1

I saw one hanging on a tree, In visions of my soul, Who turn’d His loving eyes on me As near His cross I stole.

Chorus

He's looking on you, looking on you! Oh, never were love and compassion so true; He's looking on you, looking on you! How can you refuse Him? He's looking, looking on you!

Verse 2

A gentle but condemning power Was stored within that eye; And ne'er can I forget that hour, From henceforth till I die.

Chorus

He's looking on you, looking on you! Oh, never were love and compassion so true; He's looking on you, looking on you! How can you refuse Him? He's looking, looking on you!

Verse 3

Another look He gave, which said: "I freely all forgive; My blood is for a ransom shed, I die that thou may'st live."

Chorus

He's looking on you, looking on you! Oh, never were love and compassion so true; He's looking on you, looking on you! How can you refuse Him? He's looking, looking on you!

Verse 4

O sinner, thou must meet that gaze In judgment or in grace; Repent, believe and change thy ways, Ere thou behold His face.

Chorus

He's looking on you, looking on you! Oh, never were love and compassion so true; He's looking on you, looking on you! How can you refuse Him? He's looking, looking on you!
