As He Looks Into My Heart

Did you know I wrote a few songs? This one I wrote back in October 2004. If you are music knowledgeable then I have also included the notes to the song that I picked at with my guitar when the Lord was blessing me with this.

E---F----G-------G-A---F#--G
As He looked into my heart

E---F---G--------G---A------G----F
Jesus smiled at what He saw

F---G---A-----A----B---------A--G
All the dark had turned to light

F#--G---A---A--G-----F#---G
all the bitterness now gone

How true and important this first part of the song is. It is for sure I know Jesus is pleased and smiling for what He see's in my heart. Even though I was saved as a teenager I must admit many days of darkness surrounded my life. That my friends, is the darkness because of sin. See because of the light of Jesus in my life, all this dark bitterness was removed.

E--F---G--------G-A---F#----G
As He looks into my heart

G-----A------B---C----D
He now understands

F--G--A-----B---C---D
I believe in His love

A----B---D----D-----D--C---D
and the wonders of His hands

Yes, Jesus now understands because I have opened my heart up to Him. My friends it was my choice, just as it is yours. I truly believe in His love and the miracles of His nail pierced loving hands. How do I know? The Bible tells me so, another good song.

E-----G--G---A-----F-----F#--G
The selfishness that was there

E-----F--G---------A-----G---F
now replaced with His love

F---G---A--A---B----A--G
All the anger and dispair

F#----G-A-----A---B---C--------D
now erased by Calvary's blood

Without Christ in your life, you will be selfish. See Jesus has removed all the selfishness, anger and dispair and replaced by His love as shown on Calvary. Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.


E----G--G-------G----A------F#---G
For nothing was there for me

E-----F----G-----A-----G----F
like His love from the start

F-----A-----A---B--A-----G
and this my Savior sees

F#---G--A------A-B--C---D
As He looks into my heart

Nothing is truly complete emptyness and how many of us walk through this life feeling this way. Many may try to say "not me", but that usually means they have found something else to replace that longing for His love that was been embeded into our souls at birth. Jesus knows this is calling to each of us constantly as stated in the Bible verse Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him and he with Me.

What does Jesus see as He looks into your heart?

From God's heart, to mine, to yours,
