Through Heavens Eyes

Song: Through Heavens Eyes

Artist: Dreamworks, The Prince of Egypt

 

I read an inspiring talk today that made me think of this song. This song is wonderful and I love the lyrics. It's also from a great movie :) I love the message that we all matter. We all play a part in this life. We are all needed. Our unique talents and personalities are needed. We all have the power to do good. There are people out there who need us, exactly the way we are. Just as there are people that we need. It's hard for me to remember that. It's hard for me to see my worth. I feel so down on myself all of the time. I don't think there is anything specail about me or anything that I could offer that could mean something to someone else. I'm not smart, I'm not outgoing, I'm not good at speaking inspirational words of encourgment, I can barely talk to people in general! But the message of this talk and this song remind me that I do matter. And I can make a difference. I'm needed. I'm important. And I need to see myself through God's eyes and not worry so much about what others might think of me.

 

 

A single thread in a tapestry

though its color brightly shines

can never see its purpose

in the pattern of the grand design

And the stone that sits up on the very top

of the mountain's mighty face

doesn't think it's more important

than the stones that forms the base

 

So how can you see what your life is worth

or where your value lies

you can never see through the eyes of man

you must look at your life

look at your life through heaven's eyes

lai-la-lai

A lake of gold in the desert sand

is less than a cool fresh spring

And to one lost sheep, a sheperd boy

is greater than the richest king

Should a man lose everything he owns

has he truly lost his worth

or is it the beginning

of a new and brighter birth?

 

So how do you measure the worth of a man

in wealth or strength or size

In how much he gained or how much he gave

The answer will come, the answer will come to him who tries

to look at his life through heaven's eyes

And that's why we share all we have with you

though there's little to be found

When all you've got is nothing

there's lots to go around

No life can escape being blown about

by the winds of change and chance

and though you never know all the steps

you must learn to join the dance

you must learn to join the dance

lai-la-lai

 

So how do you judge what a man is worth

By what he builds or buys

You can never see with your eyes on earth

Look through Heaven's eyes, look at your life

Look at your life

Look at your life through Heaven's eyes
