The Lord saw it.

The Lord saw
Me
You
The sheep
Without a shepherd
He had mercy
He intervened

The Lord saw
Our children
Their children
His son’s heart
The lamb of God
The good shepherd
Crucified and raised from death
That all may come home

The Lord saw
The battle for souls
The lost
The bound
The sick
He had mercy
For the Lord see
He sees you

And God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But as the angel was doing so, the Lord saw it and relented concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand.” The angel of the Lord was then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

David looked up and saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown.

David said to God, “Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I, the shepherd, have sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? Lord my God, let your hand fall on me and my family, but do not let this plague remain on your people.”1 Chronicals 21:14-17 (ESV)
