Looking through the eyes of God

Child soldiers, taught to hate, even as they need love

Many people are born different or come to feel they are different or inadequate along their life's path, and some folks become bullied as a result.  This can create pain, as too often people look through their limited eyes as opposed to the eyes of God, for, as this song says, God looks at His creation in ways we often do not.  The song is dedicated to all those who had those moments of feeling not as good as others, inadequate in some ways, and believe they won't ever be accepted.  These include those with disabilities, ethnic and racial "differences," sexual identity differences, religious differences and others.  It also represents the goal of the author of the music, to look at people through the loving eyes of God instead of the limited vision we often have in relationship to each other, for it is part of the lessons we learn as we age and move towards the end of life.

The song is for those who seek love or seek to love others, even as we are all loved when we may not know or feel it. The video is here, along with these lyrics:

Looking Through the Eyes of God

Looking through the eyes of God I saw you

Someone I had never known, because these eyes had only seen

The world through filters I created, not the prism of great love

That shows in colors all the wonders of our world

Looking through the eyes of God, I see now clearly

My eyes once blind can now see through the dark

Looking through the eyes of God, my fears are gone now

As I watch the world and see in life my part

For God sees everything as He has made it,

And knows that as it grows it will find its way again

Back home to where we all return when life has moved on by

And then is woven in the fabric of God's eternal time

Looking through the eyes of God, I see now clearly

My eyes once blind can now see through the dark

Looking through the eyes of God, my fears are gone now

As I watch the world and see in life my part

Looking through the eyes of God I saw you

All your faults dissolved as these eyes could clearly see

The virtues I had long ignored, in ignorance and blame

While only seeing everything in filters that are dark

Looking through the eyes of God, I see now clearly

My eyes once blind can now see through the dark

Looking through the eyes of God, my fears are gone now

As I watch the world and see in life my part
