The God Who Sees

                    G A  D
She's crying in the desert
                    G A Bm
She's lost in her despair
                    G A  D
She thinks nobody loves her
                       G A
Hagar thinks nobody's there
N.C.
But God says

[Chorus 1]
D       F#m G            A
I will be a ring of fire around her
D         F#m       G            A
And I will be the glory in her midst
        G           A
And the power of my presence
     Bm                 D/F#
Will bring her to her knees
    G               A
And I will lift her up again
    Bm                  A
For I'm the God who sees
                G
I'm the God who sees

[Verse 2]
                          G A  D
Then He speaks in gentle whispers
                        G A Bm
And He softly calls her name
                    G
She feels His arms enfold her
       A      D
As He holds her
                        G A
And she'll never be the same

                Em              A/C#
'Cause I'm the God who never changes
        Bm          D/F#
And My promises are true
    Em                  A/C#
And when this world deserts you
Bm                A
This is what I'll do

Narration 2:
And there is another woman named Ruth
She was from the land of Moab
And she was met with grief and heartache
She was a widow and she lived with her mother-in-law, who was also a widow
And now it was time to move on
But Ruth had never been to Bethlehem
She had never tasted of the House of Bread
But now she had heard an inner invitation to come and taste and see
And so she vowed herself to her mother-in-law
And she said where you go I will go
Where you lie I will lie
Where you die I will die
And she begins a journey to the Promised Land

[Verse 3]
                            G A  D
She's traveling through the desert
                       G A  Bm
And she's leaving her despair
                   G A  Bm
She's hoping for a future
                           G A
Praying God will lead her there
N.C.
And He says


[Chorus 2]
D       F#m     G                A
I will put a ring around you finger
D          F#m       G                  A
And I will bless a child within your womb
        G               A
And the Savior will be born through you
     Bm                 D/F#
To free the world from sin
    G                     A
And He'll make all things new for you
    Bm                     A
And love you back to life again, again

Narration 2:
And then from Ruth who gave birth to a son
Obed who gave birth to a son
Jesse who gave birth to a son
Named David
Now the same, once shepherd boy
Mighty warrior, anointed king is alone
Terrified in the darkness

[Verse 4]
                   G A  D
He's hiding in the desert
              G A  Bm
He's battling despair
                            G       A  D
David thinks his life is over, it's over
                     G A
And God, He doesn't care
N.C.
But God says


[Chorus 3]
D       F#m     G                A
I will be the Rock of your salvation
        D    F#m        G                       A
I'll hold you up by the strength of My right hand
        G               A
And the power of My Spirit
     Bm                 D/F#
Will free you from all fear
        G                A
In the hour of your deepest need
        Bm               A
You'll find that I am near
        B (move to E major)
I am here

[Chorus 4]
    E      G#m  A               B
And I will be a ring of fire around you
    E      G#m     A            B
And I will be the glory in your midst
          A             B
And the power of My presence
        C#m             B
Will bring you to your knees
     A                B
Then I will lift you up again
    C#m              B
For I'm the God who sees

Narration 3
And then from the line of David
Finally, Jesus the Messiah
The Anointed One, Yeshua, the Christ
Born in the same House of Bread to be the Bread of Life
In the town of Bethlehem
And He would grow
And He would be called the Son of God
He would be called Emmanuel, God With Us
And He would heal, and He would reveal
And then He had an encounter with a woman
Named Mary of Magdalen who was plagued by demons
Tormented by evil spirits, and Jesus set her free
And Mary followed Him, she listened at His feet
She served Him, and she loved Him
Oh how she loved Him
But then she watched as they nailed Him to the cross
And as they placed His body in the tomb
In that moment her hope died, it died

[Verse 5]
                    A B  E
She's crying in the garden
                A B  C#m
She's broken in despair
                        A B  C#m
She's searching for her Savior
                   F#m B
But His body isn't there
Then He says, Mary

[Chorus 5]
    E   G#m     A        B
Glory, glory, glory, Hallelujah
E      G#m      A               B
I will be the glory in Your midst
        A           B
And every knee will bow to Me
     C#m         B
And every tongue confess
    A                   B
Yes all the world will worship Me
   C#m     B      (move to F major)
In all My Holiness

[Chorus 6]
F       Am   Bb           C
I will be a ring of fire around you
    F      Am       Bb            C
And I will be the glory in your midst
        Bb           C
And the power of My presence
        Dm              C
Will bring you to your knees
    Bb              C
And I will lift you up again
     Dm              C
For I'm the God who sees, who sees

(from here onwards Bb C Dm each line)
I'm the God who sees
Oh I'm the God who sees, I see you
I'm the God who sees you in your wilderness
Sees you in your brokenness
When you're feeling lonely, I'm the God who sees
In the desert places, in your empty spaces
I'm the God who sees
I'm nearer than you dare believe, Here in the very air you breathe
Bb      C       F
I'm the God who sees
N.C.
You
