Just a glimpse is all it takes
Royston 1946 (Reading)
Just a glimpse, it was so faint and so dim,
came through the mist. I thought it must be Him.
The Holy Spirit made it real to me.
It was my Lord Jesus that I could see.
Then I viewed His hands and His feet and side.
Those wounds of love and scars of sacrifice,
each speaking of a love that knew no end.
This Son of God is every sinner’s friend.
