THE MASTER NOTICED Lyric
- I’ve never seen the ocean
but I’ve known a quiet stream,
I’ve seen it catch the sunshine,
and I’ve heard it as it seemed
to hold the wisdom of its Maker
clear within its golden gleam.
- I’ve never seen the ocean,
but I’ve known a drop of dew.
I’ve seen it on the rosebud
and I know it holds a view
of worlds so wide and wonderful
that I must seek them too.
- I’ve never seen the heavens
from the Master’s point of view.
But I’ve seen a gleam of starlight
on a meadow, silvery blue.
And I know these things I’ve looked upon
the Master noticed, too!

IT WASN’T THE CROSS
It wasn’t the cross on which He died
that takes our breath away.
He suffered there an agony
that many endure today.
Many have suffered pain and death
for God and His Kingdom here.
So, why should our hearts be filled today
with sadness and with tears?
No.
It wasn’t the cross or the torture he bore
that brings us to our knees.
It was the sin that put Him there;
the price to set us free.
The sinless God who stooped to Earth
to walk on humble paths –
the Mighty King who named the stars,
covered in blood and the spittle of Man;
Almighty God, whose Heavenly Host
strained to hear His call to arms –
held them back with His steadfast Will,
and accepted the cross onCalvary’s Hill.
Drenched in the filth of all the sin
that fallen Man had ushered in,
He laid the purest Rose of Sharon,
spotless before the throne of Heaven.
