This is a song about our awareness in worship of the presence of God and His ability to see into our very hearts. The verse that inspired it is I Cor. 14:25, "And thus are the secrets of his heart revealed; and so falling down on his face, he shall worship God, and declare that God is certainly among you." It's a reminder that worship is not always so comfortable...

Eyes of God

V1:
Plain as day, all the sins I hid away;
Here they are, within Your sight.
Eyes ablaze, pure and holy, full of grace
Probe my heart with boundless light.
I stand here wondering how You forgive me,
But of course You do,
And I hear Your call to higher ground --
Chorus:
Eyes of God,
When You illuminate my darkness
There's an element of danger;
For in Your gaze I can't remain the same.
See in me
What You mean my life to be
For in Your sight I'm not a stranger,
Though You know me well, You will not let me go...
V2:
Draw me out from the shadows of my doubt
Shine Your beam into my soul
Show me how I can serve You here and now,
Keep my eyes upon the goal.
Try as I might to avoid Your claim on me,
Oh I know it's true,
I still hear Your call to higher ground --
Repeat Chorus twice
