This song was written shortly after a mission trip to Springfield, MO. We where part of a college team that was ministering in 3 different churches within the city. It was our prayer that during the short time we had with the students that they would see Christ in us.
Lyrics
(verse 1)
My heart broke for you today as I knelt at the alter
and I began to pray
I prayed that you would somehow find a way
to open up your heart
I know your tribulations have kept you down
and it's hard for you to see the point
when noone else around seems to care
But I know someone who does
And I know it's hard for you to believe
in something you can't even see
And so my prayer will be that
(chorus)
You will see Jesus through me
Because I know that I may be the only
Jesus you'll ever see
I pray that you will see Jesus through me
And one day believe that you need Him
When you see Him through me
(verse 2)
I wish that I could take more time
to tell you of the one who came to give His life for you
He died to set you free
I can hope with all my strength
and try with all my might but if I'm doing it along
then I'm going to lose the fight
because everything is in vain if they can't see You through me
