I Can Sing In Your Eyes

Writ upon tablets of stone

Engraved upon our hearts

Love is patient

Love is kind

I lift my voice to God

You turn my face to yours

I can sing in your eyes

In melodies of faith and truth

My God has heard my cries

We walk through the valley

With death as a mere shadow

Love does not envy

Nor does it boast

Love has not pride

As the shadows have no depth

Walk on through, walk on by

I can sing in your eyes

Faith has restored the years

My God is next to me now

Catching all our tears

Abiding in the secret place

Protected under His wings

Love is not rude

Love is not self-seeking

The fortress I live by

The refuge in times of need

I lift my prayers to God

You hold my face in your hands

And my faith in your heart

You smile and I get lost

Lost in your eyes

Your thumb brushes my cheek

To catch the joy running down my face

I can sing in your eyes

My God, my God

Has never forsaken me

Be anxious for nothing my child

What are these tears for?

Faith is faith, and I want to see yours

For what I give for a season

I could give for a lifetime

But remember...

Love is not easily angered

Love does not delight in evil

But rather it rejoices with the truth

It is truth

It is in your eyes

Where it is safe to get lost

Where it is safe to sing

Where the poetry awakens

And tears are caught

So I look to the hills

From whence my help always comes

I look to my God

And He in you

For we were all strangers

Yet He took us in

Love always protects

It always trusts

Always hopes

Love always perseveres

As my hands gently lift your face

Fullness in clear blue skies

And I can sing again

I can sing in your eyes

Love never fails my baby

You are written on my heart

My sunshine

Sweetness

My white rose

God is with us

God is in us

He holds our hearts to His

He sees our tears

He knows our future

And takes our past from our hands

No guilt for us

No condemnation

He makes the wrongs, right

The pain, joy

The dead rise

Love is reborn

And keeps no record of wrongs
