The Eyes of Jesus

Monday, July 14, 2008
The other morning I was on my way to get some donuts for the family. I turned on the radio and an interesting song came on, one that instantly grapped my attention. It didn't grab my attention because of the tune and jingle, it was the lyrics that grapped my attention and made listen attentively. The song is titled, Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath. It has everything to do with my recent post so I thought I would share the words with you.

Looked down from a broken sky, traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high, best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black tile, hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock of confusion and chaos
Are those people going somewhere? Why have I never cared?

Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
Wasnt it far beyond my reach?
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see again

Step out on a busy street, see a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me, to hide whats underneath
Theres a man just to her right, black suit and a bright red tie
To ashamed to tell his wife, he's out of work, he's buying time
Are those people going somewhere?Why have I never cared?

Chorus

I've Been there a million times, A couple of million eyes
Just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all alone
