Through Heavens Eyes Lyrics

Through Heavens Eyes lyrics

Performed by Brian Stokes Mitchell) 

  

 Jethro 

 A single thread in a tapestry 

 Through its color brightly shine 

 Can never see its purpose 

 In the pattern of the grand design 

  

 And the stone that sits on the very top 

 Of the mountain's mighty face 

 Does it think it's more important 

 Than the stones that form 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 shepherd boy 

 Is greater than the richest king 

 If a man lose ev'rything 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 a lot 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
