Heaven In Your Eyes

from TURNING OVER TABLES by Mychael John Thomas

/

about

This is a re-working of an old song from 1992. I had a really good friend who used to come hear me sing every time I ministered somewhere. He would grip his chair till his knuckles turned white and cry like a baby, but he just wasn't ready to be a Christian...

I lost touch with him for almost a year and found out he got severly injured by a horse and almost died...In the hospital he gave his life to Jesus. He called me when we woke up to tell me. It was one of the best days of my life to get that call...The words have been "broadened" a little, but the message is still there: God wants to comfort hurting people, and He's always there with love and healing.

lyrics

HEAVEN IN YOUR EYES

CHORUS
I keep looking for Heaven in your eyes
I keep praying the blind will see the light
And envision the truth: He died for you

It’s so hard to watch you hurt when you won’t give in
And I know you know what you oughta do
Sometimes I just don’t know how to be your friend
When I offer love but you refuse
Because you’re looking at the world view of so called peace
But it’s a glamorous lie…Will it never cease?

CHORUS

I keep searching for the words that’ll help you see
But sometimes I don’t know what to say
‘Cause I’ve told you all about a plan to set you free
But your stubborn will is in your way
And I know God has been knocking at your heart
Will you accept His invitation to make a new start

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Heaven home is shining on
Loving Father upon the throne
Heaven home is shining on
Something you can call your own

SOLO

Well we’re saints or we’re sinners ‘cause we have a choice
Of the evil or the good that we do
And Jesus gave His life so we could hear that voice
That will tell us if it’s lie or truth
I know the Lord watches over His children well
But will you let Him call you child only time will tell
