Heaven In His Eyes

Rich Mullins

Psalm 59:17, John 10:14-16

Well the night was cold and my heart was

Hidden very safely in a shell

But I knew somehow I'd have to run that risk

Have to open up myself

They're the same ones Abraham saw

Come under my wings I will make you shine

Give you strength enough to love

Oh, now I'm getting strong enough

You helped me chip my way out and open myself up

And for the snow that comes with winter

For the growth that comes from pain

For the joke I can't remember

Although the laughter long remains

For the faith that brought to finish

All I doubted at the start

Lord, I give you praise for all that makes

For the hatching of a heart

Well my face was smooth and featureless

Just like an egg

And if I was moved you would never guess it

By the look upon my face

But You said man looks without but I look within

I can see the love you hide

It's a matter of doubt it's a symptom of sin

It's a problem of too much pride

And I, now I'm opening up wide

Wet feathers pulled out from beneath me

And You're teaching me to fly

For the strength that comes with friendship

For the warmth that comes with hope

And for the love time can't diminish

And for the time love takes to grow

And for the moonlight on the water

And for the bright and morning star

Lord I give you praise for all that makes

For the hatching of a heart

And for the moonlight on the water

And for the bright and morning star

Lord I give you praise for all that makes

For the hatching of a heart
