Give me your eyes!

Give me your eyes by Brandon Heath

Look down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight

Touch down on the cold black top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared

Chorus
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 you heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work, He's buying time



I’ve been here a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just move and pass me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
I need a second glance
Give me a second chance
To see the way you’ve seen the people all along

This is my cry to the Lord. I have sat in complacency for too long. Please Lord help me to love all your people the way you do. Help me Lord to step out of my comfort zone and reach the people who need it most. Help me not to be silent anymore! You have placed me here on this earth for such a time as this! You have created me for your purpose and for your glory, not mine own! Thank you, Lord that you do give us second chances to see this world the way you see it!

Also, share this with you that through Aunt Ann and my mom God spoke to their hearts that we are to pray for the salvation of our President elect Obama. This is God's heart. For every person to come to know Him as their Lord and Savior. As my mom put it, this could have been the only way anyone would have ever prayed for Obama. As I think about that, regardless of what Obama has done or said, God loves him. He created him. If Obama was the only person on this earth, God still would have sent his only son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for him. God would have done this for any of us.
