Give Me Your Eyes

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
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see


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
Too ashamed to tell his wife
Hes out of work
Hes buying time
are those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?


Ive Been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
just move and pass 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 along

Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath


Somehow in the midst of school and Ukraine and life, I missed this song coming out. But wouldn't you know that this song describes everything I have been feeling for months now? God has been showing me little by little what he wants from me. What I need to be doing for Him. How could I never see what was right in front of me?
I want to love people they way He wants me to. Not superficiallly, not half-heartedly. Completely and fully love people. So many people are hurting....
I want to start over and show others that God loves them, that God wants them in His family. My prayer is that God never lets my heart become cold and distant towards His people.

My prayer is that God will give me His eyes. Give me a heart for those who are hurting. Those are alone. Those that have no one.
