Lyrics
Gaze upon the Lord, gaze upon his face;Gaze upon the one who holds you in his embrace.
Gaze upon his life, gaze upon his love;
Gaze upon his coming poor from heav’n above.
Look upon your Lord, look upon his way,
Look upon his heart that opens to each day.
Though he was despised, the lowest of all men,
Look upon his sacred cross which brings life again.
If you open to life’s pain, then with it you shall reign
And allow your heart to weep and with Him you’ll rejoice;
Open to His Cross the wounds of each day’s love
Then you’ll know the splendour of His kingdom above
Gaze upon his life, gaze upon his love
Gaze upon his coming home trom heaven above,
From heaven above.
Look upon your Lord, look upon his way,
Look upon his heart that opens to each day.
Though he was despised, the lowest of all men,
Look upon his sacred cross which brings life again.
If you open to life’s pain, then with it you shall reign
And allow your heart to weep and with Him you’ll rejoice;
Open to His Cross the wounds of each day’s love
Then you’ll know the splendour of His kingdom above
Gaze upon his life, gaze upon his love
Gaze upon his coming home trom heaven above,
From heaven above.
