Heaven
In His Eyes
See the Teacher sitting on a mountain
See Him walking along the shore
Friends and disciples gathering around Him
Say never spake a man like this before
But why's a man as wise as He
Weeping alone in Gethsemane
Did He know some would never see
The
heaven in His eyes
See the Master walking on the water
Hear Him speak
and calm an angry wave
Look at Him raising up Jairus's daughter
And
with a word Lazarus comes forth from the grave
But why is a man as strong
as this
Being betrayed by a good friend's kiss
Could it be that maybe
this man missed
The heaven in His eyes
I'm not talking about the pie
in the sky
That you good boys and girls get in the by and by
But rather
the strength, the strength that we can find
If we've got the guts to try
See the Teacher playing with the children
Hear Him baffle doctors of the
law
Look at the people gathering to go with Him
Those who see the vision
that He saw
This is why a man as holy as He
Had to die alone on Calvary
It was the only way that we could ever see
The heaven in His eyes
The heaven in His eyes
The heaven in His eyes
Yeah, the heaven in His
eyes
The heaven in His eyes and forgiveness
In a time when the strongest
arms ruled
But this man of no reputation
Loves us all with relentless
affection
And He loves all those poor in spirit, come as you are
To the
man of no reputation.
