My Father's Eyes

Amy Grant. How's that for a throw-back for today's casual Friday? I always think of this song around Father's Day. It's probably not fair considering it has little to do with earthly Fathers, but I like any opportunity to honor my heavenly Father. The song is old, but it's message conveys what I hope is a goal for all of us. To have our Father's Eyes. 



I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl.
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world.
But that's all right as long as I can have one wish I pray.
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say,


She has her Father's eyes.
Eyes that find the good in things, When good is not around.
Eyes that find the source of help, When help just can't be found.
Eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain.
Knowin' what you're going through, and feeling it the same.
Just like my Father's eyes.


And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done,
Good and bad they'll all be had to see by everyone
And when you're called to stand and tell just what you saw in me,
More than anything I know, I want your words to be,


She has her Father's eyes.
Eyes that find the good in things, When good is not around.
Eyes that find the source of help, When help just can't be found.
Eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain.
Knowin' what you're going through, and feeling it the same.
Just like my Father's eyes.
