Give Me Your Eyes -- Brandon Heath

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

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
Ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see

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
All those people going somewhere
Why have I never cared?

I've Been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
Just moving past me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all along

Give me your eyes!
Lord give me your eyes!
Everything, I keep missing
Give me your arms!
For the broken hearted!
Give me your arms,
Lord, give me your eyes.



I am in love with this song. Please take the time to read these lyrics. And go out of your way today to see people, to reach out to someone, to spread the joy of Christ! Don't assume "someone else will do it," be the someone else!
  • adeline
    i like how u said to not assume someone else will do it!!!!! so important!

If being a Christian was illegal, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

    I don't think so. That'd be a lot with 16 hours this coming semester.

  • chelstee
    When will you be in Austin without me???? And for the names-- I don't know. I noticed it a couple of days ago when I was on a PC, but my Mac doesn't show it. I went in a looked and I think it's from the old Pleonast when I had all my names super small. I think the coding just kicked in, so all the people I recently added have their names at normal size. Strange. I would fix them all but it's tedious and I'm impatient. -_-

    P.S. That picture of you is so incredibly amazing.

I don't wanna live my life bein a color.

So it's been a really long time since I updated...

I just got a job at the University Medical Center as a nurse tech on a medsurg floor! I process tomorrow and then hopefully start working this week or next.

They came to Lubbock for a few days this week and it was so awesome to have them here! Then he came this weeekend and beat him for the SECOND time at putt-putt! :) I got a little spoiled with so many friends here, then got really depressed when they all left. :(

I just finished my OB class and clinicals on Friday so now I've got a week to prepare myself for Mental Health Nursing... How do you prepare yourself for crazy people?

We had a baptism at church tonight! A grad student named Cody Lass at Tech who's dating and has been coming with one of the girls at church decided to be baptized tonight! Everyone please keep your new brother in your prayers! :)

A group is leaving tomorrow at noon-ish for Peru, so please keep all of them in your prayers that the work there can be successful! And that they bring me back some Inca Kola! ;)

Anyways, I guess that a sufficient update for now... hope everyone has a great week!

ps. MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!! :( :( :(
  • coffee_girl
    Hey, congrats on the job! Now I'll never see you... :) Sounds like your pretty excited about it. Tonight, whilst working on upper cabinets, I listened to my MJ pandora station. It was magical. :(

    Um, you can join us for fireworks downtown on Saturday if you'd like! The symphony plays and the Austin skyline is in the background. We have a pretty good sized group coming. Grilling for lunch, picnic and fireworks for dinner. Interested?

"An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others." A. W. Tozer

Easter weekend is coming up and I get to go home for a few days! I'm ready to be in the hill country again for a little while.

Nursing school is hard. I'll just leave it at that.

He's pretty fantastic.

I really enjoyed the weekend with them even though it was waaayy to short. :(

4 1/2 weeks of school until I'm officially a senior. Weird.

And to end, one of my favorite verses:

What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him." 1 Corinthians 2:9

    fiction, not christian. There is some crude language and a couple adult scenes (but not graphic and they're only about a paragraph). The overall story is really good and i would recommend it. i just bleeped out the crude language and just skimmed over the adult scenes.
