"His Eyes......are Always Upon Me.......His Eyes Never Close in Sleep."

"Sometimes His eyes were gentle and filled with laughter

And sometimes they cried

Sometimes there was a fire of Holy anger

In Jesus' eyes

But the eyes that saw hope in the hopeless

That saw through the fault to the need

Are the same eyes that look down from heaven

Into the deepest part of you and me

And His eyes are always upon us

His eyes never close in sleep

And no matter where you go

You will always be in His eyes

In His eyes

Sometimes His voice comes calling like rolling thunder

Or like driving rain

And sometimes His voice is quite and we start to wonder

If He knows our pain
But He who spoke peace to the water

Cares more for our hearts than the waves

And the voice that once said, "You're forgiven."

Still says, "You're forgiven", today

Today

Sometimes I look above me when stars are shining

And I feel so small

How could the God of heaven and all creation

Know I'm here at all
But then in the silence He whispers:"

My child, I created you too

and you're my most precious creation

I even gave my Son for you."

And His eyes are always upon you

His eyes never close in sleep

and no matter where you go

you will always be in His eyes

no matter where you go

you will always be in His eyes

Sometimes His eyes were gentle and filled with laughter"

This was one of my favorite Steven Curtis Chapman songs at one point in my life.

How funny that I now feel such a connection to him & his family-

which reminds me that we still should be praying for them.

Anyway….when I saw the theme at FFF for this week-EYES-the words to this song came from the depths of my mind…….& began to replay themselves. What a comfort to my soul these past few hours.

& while I know this wasn’t the intent of Sarah’s theme this week…..I did need reminding this week that My Father in Heaven always has His eyes on me & my family.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,

On those who hope in His mercy,
Psalm 33:18

Ruth's eyes speak volumes in this picture, don't they? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
