When Jesus looks upon my life,
What picture does He see.
Does He see His own reflection,
Or does He just see me.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
Does He see His likeness,
The product of His hand.
Or just another Christian,
Who never took a stand.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
Does He see a child of God,
A child that He set free.
Living life to honor Him,
Or does He just see me.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
What about the other folks,
I meet along the way.
Do I show them Jesus,
To brighten up their day.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
When someone looks into my eyes,
Can they truly see.
That calm and gentle peace of God,
That dwells inside of me.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
When I reach out and shake a hand,
Is He right there in my grip.
Can they feel that strength from God,
That steadies when I slip.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
When folks are in my presence,
Do they know His Spirit's there.
Can they see that He's the one,
Who guides me everywhere.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
When other people think of me,
What is on their mind.
Do they think of Jesus Christ,
So gentle and so kind.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
I try to be like Jesus,
Every single day.
Spreading love and kindness,
All along my way.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
I'm afraid that I have failed,
I could not pass the test.
Deep inside my heart I know,
I haven't done my best.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
I have had to fight my flesh,
Since the day that I was born.
It's always causing trouble,
And being such a thorn.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
That's why His Spirit dwells in me,
He's helping me to learn.
In every situation,
Where I need to turn.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
He knew I'd never pass the test,
That's why He took my place.
He gave His life to save my soul,
He suffered my disgrace.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
Now I try to be like Him,
I must present Him well.
So other folks will want His gift,
And turn their backs on hell.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
Other folks should see the joy,
That Christ has given me.
They should want to have it too,
Especially since it's free.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
They should begin to ask me,
What is it they must do.
Just how it is they go about,
Getting Jesus too.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
Then I get to tell them,
This wondrous gift is free.
It only takes a humble heart,
A prayer on bended knee.
![](poetry/whenjesusfly.gif)
Someday when I'm face to face,
With the Lord who set me free.
Will He see His own reflection,
Or will He just see me.
