Attraction, from Mary's Prespective

Attraction, from Mary's prespective as she washed Jesus' feet

In the blinding Light of Your Love I fall at Your feet
those dry, dusty feet
that walked so far to find me
Your love attracted me to You, my brokenness
my shame
my sin
attracted You

I knew all the ways to approach and attract a man...
exactly how to dress
how to wear my hair
what moves to make
even what purfume to wear
Your Love attracted me, my brokenness
my shame
my sin
attracted You

Many men have touched me, used me and abused me....
men WANTED me
but they didn't want ME
they looked at me with eyes full of lust
no one ever looked at me the way You do
with eyes full of love, compassion and hope
Your love attracted me, my brokenness
my shame
my sin
attracted You

When you looked into my eyes You saw my pain....
my guilt
my shame
my longing
my desire to know true love
You saw past what I was
You saw who I could be
Your love attracted me, my brokenness
my shame
my sin
attracted You

I fall to my kness, my face at Your feet and I kiss those tired, dusty feet....
let me wash them with my tears
and dry them with my hair
You looked at me as I was
and saw who I could be
I looked at You
and saw I AM
Your Love attracted me, my brokenness
my shame
my sin
attracted You

No one's ever seen me the way You see me, from the inside out
No one's ever looked inside me to really see my heart
I have captivated the Heart of God.... and THAT is lovely!
