To Be Seen

He is known by several beautiful names
Yet Hagar will give another; El Roi
A Hebrew name meaning The God who sees me
What a name from a most unexpected person

Everyone has a story, Hagar's side is not often heard
She grew and at some point became a slave 
Then she will be used as a mistress 
Bait for children for her madam

Don't blame her if ambition kicked in
And she will want to be more than just a slave
After all they gave her the taste of the pudding
She also desire the finer things of life...

She won't have her wishes; she was shown the door
She was sent out with her son into uncertainty 
Few food and supplies for a desert journey 
What really were their chances of surviving?

Starvation is their imminent end 

Ishmael wont stop crying for the food she cant provide

His cries ripped her soul apart
So she set her child apart so not to witness his death

El Roi will be true to His promise

The seed of Abraham is snatched from death

She has been seen by the One who can help
The One who’s mindful of them

I want to be seen and helped by the one who’s got me

To be embraced by the One who controls the Universe

The One who knows what every sigh means
Who can wipe my tears and give me a pleasant beginning
