LOOK INTO MY EYES
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
LOOK INTO MY EYES
I stare into space
He looks into my face
Silently He sighs,
"Look into my eyes"
My Lord stands at my side
In my heart He abide
When troubles arise
He says,"Look onto my eyes"
All my life I searched for hope
Looking for some way to cope
When hope finally dies
He says, "Look into my eyes"
As I wander in a dream
Losing the love I esteem
He says," Never broken are the ties
Son, Look into my eyes"
As I accept His embrace
Jesus shines on me His grace
And He quietly cries
"Look into my eyes!"
When my eyes are turned away
And when I wander astray
I shudder as He cries
" Son, look into my eyes!"
I run from the sight
I flee to the night
Listening to the world's lies
Still says, "look into my eyes!"
As I feel my Loss
I look to the Cross
Speaking as He dies
"My son, look into my eyes!"
"Know that you're never alone
My love has been shown
And when on the third day I arise,
My Sheep, my Child, look into my eyes!"
AMEN
