- "Through Heaven's Eyes"
- Jethro:
- A single thread in a tapestry-
- Though 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!
