I Saw Me Poem by Lizzy Scott

I saw me.
That was all I could see,
Locked up in my own little world
'Til God entered with the key.

So busy
Thinking only of me,
Love for others
Seemed to flee.

Enjoying life to destruction
Eager to get my fill,
Obsessed with my own aspirations
Hungry to taste life's thrill.

I saw me.
That was all I could see,
Locked up in my own little world
'Til God entered with the key.

Then the flash of God descended!
His flaming sword cut through!
I'd mistaken this life as belonging to me.
I had never really let God rule!

I was blinded on my road of life.
But now I'm beginning to see,
That all the statistics and numbers have feelings.
And now, a number, I must be.

I saw me.
That was all I could see,
Locked up in my own little world'
Til God entered with the key.

Now through tear dimmed eyes I see people
With real hurts, real needs, and real cares.
Looking through their darkness
Their feelings I now share.

Praise God I am no longer busy.
I no longer act the fool.
The needs of others I am now feeling.
The flash of God's love got through!

I saw me.
That was all I could see,
Locked up in my own little world
'Til God entered with the key.
