You’ve seen me in my darkest hour
You’ve seen me struggle to believe
You’ve seen me fight to keep my faith alive
You’ve seen me crying on my knees
In my despair
You’re always there
To reveal the silver lining
You see all that I can be
You know the plans You have for me
You know the end of the story
All things work for Your glory
Help me to see what You see
You’ve seen me try to go the extra mile
You’ve seen me stumble on the way
You’ve seen me weaken under heavy trial
You’ve seen me strong enough to stay
Though clouds fill the sky
You’re standing by
To reveal the silver lining
I will praise You
For I am fearfully and wonderfully made
I will trust You
In spite of what it looks like today
You’re helping me to see the way You see
Beyond the days of jettisoned and jaded
Help me to see what You see
