Give Me Your Eyes

For the past month or so I have been majorly inspired by the song "Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath. This song puts many things in perspective for me. I find much comfort in the song because it is about a guy begging God to let him see the world as God does. It consistently reminds me that even though most people don’t notice or care about others, God does. He sees everyone and everything. I love how this song refers to common people dealing with everyday problems.

“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.”

Those lines are a great example of a major problem America has right now. Because of the economy, thousands of people are losing their jobs daily. This song makes my heart ache. The chorus is a daily prayer of mine:

“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 ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see.”

Look this song up!!!!! Until I heard this song, I didn’t think to look at those around me beyond the surface. I hope the lyrics to “Give Me Your Eyes” will open up your eyes and heart to humanity as it did mine.
