[Verse 1] Walking down this crowded street, faces passing by Each one carved in holy light, reflections of the Most High The homeless man with weathered hands, the child with bright blue eyes They’re not just flesh and bone I see, they’re sacred in disguise Every stranger that I meet, every friend who calls my name Bears the mark of Heaven’s King, though they may not know His fame In the coffee shop, the grocery line, the park where children play God’s own image walks among us every single day [Chorus] Am I worshipping You by loving the ones You made? When I see Your face in every soul along the way? You said the second’s like the first, now I understand Loving You means loving them, it’s all part of Your plan Living images of glory, walking sacred ground In every heart You’ve placed Your mark, Your image can be found [Verse 2] You made no graven idols, You needed nothing carved in stone Your masterpiece is breathing here, in flesh and blood and bone The Second Command makes it clear, no statues made by man Could ever match the living art that flows from Your own hand When I serve the one forgotten, when I lift the fallen up Am I kneeling at Your altar, drinking from Your cup? The hungry need more than my prayers, the lonely need my time Your image calls for action, not just words that merely rhyme [Chorus] Am I worshipping You by loving the ones You made? When I see Your face in every soul along the way? You said the second’s like the first, now I understand Loving You means loving them, it’s all part of Your plan Living images of glory, walking sacred ground In every heart You’ve placed Your mark, Your image can be found [Bridge] Selem - the Hebrew word for image divine The same word used for idols, but these idols are alive Not carved from wood or fashioned gold, but formed by Your own breath Your greatest art still walks the earth from birth until their death So when I pass the mirror of my neighbor’s weary face Help me see what You see there - Your glory, love, and grace For loving them is loving You, it took so long to learn Your image-bearers everywhere, for this my heart has yearned [Final Chorus] Now I’m worshipping You by loving the ones You made See Your face in every soul along the way You said the second’s like the first, now I understand Loving You means loving them, it’s all part of Your plan Living images of glory, walking sacred ground In every heart You’ve placed Your mark, Your image can be found [Outro] I worship God by loving everyone along my path The proof is in their eyes - His image looking back
