Look Me In The Eye

Margaret Becker


I found a letter I wrote to you 
In the bottom of the drawer 
Simple words, simple point of view 
That I don't have much anymore 
It said "I don't want fortune 
I don't want fame 
I only want the treasure 
That time can't take away" 

CHORUS 
Look me in the eye 
Tell me if you see 
Traces of yourself 
Growing here in me 
Tell me if you find 
Your heart in mine 
I pray you'll see your light 
When you look me in the eye 

Many years have come and gone 
Since I wrote that page 
And somehow with the passing time 
I've let that truth slip away 
Dear Lord remind me 
Each and every day that your 
Holiness, your Godliness 
Is all that will remain 

CHORUS 

Now I see you 
Much too dimly 
But someday we'll be 
Eye to eye 
When I see you 
I want to hear you say 
That you were proud of my life 
Lord touch my heart 
Center my soul 
Till all I do 
Is for You alone 

CHORUS
