In His Eyes

By Skye Shae Bonati 

Circa 2011, for my sister's children

Verse 1

Nothing breaks your heart quite like your child in pain

empty eyes, like a looking glass

reflecting your own childhood

Gone are the days you said,

"She'll never be like me"

Pre Chorus

But I've seen fire in your eyes

So let the hope of her freedom rise!

Chorus

Because you, my dear, are driving out fear

you're cutting off curses

you're turning back clocks

and all that we hear,

it tells of our Savior

and shows that the tears of our lives

are in His eyes

They're in His eyes

Verse 2

Taking one step up, three back though it may seem to you

patch a hole and a chasm grows,

connecting cause with consequence

Far away, you think, is the healing that you need

Pre Chorus

But I've seen fire in your eyes

So let the hope of her freedom rise!

Chorus

Because you, my dear, are driving out fear

you're cutting off curses

you're turning back clocks

and all that we hear,

it tells of our Savior

and shows that the tears of our lives

are in His eyes

They're in His eyes
