The Beauty of Jesus

In Me

“My life touched yours

for a very brief space,

And what, oh,

what did you see?

A hurried, a worried

and anxious face,

Or the beauty of Jesus in me?

Was I steeped so deep

in the ways of the world

That you couldn't detect one thing

That would set me apart

and show that my heart

Belonged to the Heavenly King?

Did I carry no banner

for Jesus my Lord,

Not one thing at all to show

Whose side I am on

in this glorious fight...

I am His! But you wouldn't know!

Forgive me! And if

we should e'er meet again

Upon earth, oh, I pray you will see

No mark of this world,

but His banner unfurled,

And the beauty of Jesus in me!
