V1)
Looking back at the child I was
And ahead at the man I will become
I see myself through my Father’s eyes
And I hope that each day I make Him proud
I know that I will make mistakes
But through His love, I will be seen
With forgiving eyes
V2)
I try to obey my Father’s word
But I’m bound to fall off the path He leads
In my darkest night, my weakest hour
He feeds my soul, He brings me to my knees
He lifts me from my lowest place
I’m like a child, when I’m seen
With forgiving eyes
CHORUS)
Forgiving eyes
erase the scars I have inside
The pain subsides.
I’ll start each day with the healing pow’r
Of forgiving eyes
BRIDGE)
The tears run deep upon my cheeks
My sorrow and pain he understands
Which drop of blood did I make Him shed?
How can I forget His sacrifice?
CHORUS
