Who was that I saw in that hungry child's smile,
As I gave him my bread, he sat for awhile,
Bitter tears disappeared as his heart filled with joy,
Was that you I saw, Lord, when I fed that boy.

Who was that I saw when the man had no coat,
As I gave him my own, his eyes seemed remote,
"You clothed me my child", he said as he ran,
Was that you I saw, Lord, when I clothed that man.

Who was that I saw, when in labor I lay,
For each loving infant, in pain I did pay,
But, I was rewarded, none like it on earth,
Was that you I saw, Lord, when I gave them birth.

Who was that I saw as my mom said goodbye,
Her face glowed like sunshine as death closed her eyes,
Then, You took her hand and no more she would roam,
Was that you I saw, Lord, as You took her home.

I've pondered this question, as I near the end,
Life's trials are all over, no use to pretend,
Reveal yourself, Lord, can't I look on Your face,
You've never revealed it as I've run this race.

Then, suddenly, out of nowhere, the answer was there,
As I've searched through this life, my burdens to bear,
Overlooking the obvious and seeking to find,
That was you I saw, Lord, you lived in my mind.
