Shrinking from God's presence, trying foolishly to hide
Adam ran Behind a tree to conceal his newlearned pride
Standing naked before the Lord he felt the first felt shame
For under God's omniscient eye there was no one to blame.
Under God's Gaze we are laid bare
For in love he seeks out everything that's there
His righteousness strips all that it surveys
For every man stands naked in god's gaze!
Under God's gaze there is no rejection
Of the objects of His great affection
You will lift your own eyes up in praise
If you understand the nature of God's gaze!
And now today in naked shame man runs and then he hides
God still seeks out rebel hearts and in His love provides
A covering man can't remove if he only puts it on
For his wounds flowed to heal our wounds if we will just respond!
Under God's Gaze we are laid bare
For in love he seeks out everything that's there
His righteousness strips all that it surveys
For every man stands naked in god's gaze!
Under God's gaze there is no rejection
Of the objects of His great affection
You will lift your own eyes up in praise
If you understand the nature of God's gaze!
