Then Sings My Soul Saturday ~ Give me Your Eyes

With the new year, came all sorts of commitments that I decided to make.. for my spiritual growth in reading the Word every day, praying with the my children more, and for my physical health, losing weight and exercise, and for my family, to be more present in my time with them. Somehow in the mix, I did not look outside my circle. It is not that we don't do anything... we give to charities and volunteer, but no where in my thought process did I think what else I could do outside my family.

Then I heard this song by Brandon Heath. And God turned on my ears. And I really heard this song. The song asked, "Why have I never cared?" How often do I walk through the world intent on my own life and business and so disconnected from those around me? And now my heart cries out to God, help me to see the world with your eyes. Give me your heart. Here are the lyrics of the chorus:

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