Heaven In His Eyes

Rich Mullins


"See the Teacher sitting on a mountain 
And see Him walking along the shore 
His friends and disciples are gathering around Him 
Never spake a man like this before 

But why is a man as wise as He 
Weeping alone in Gethsemane 
Could it be because He's afraid we'd never see 
The heaven in His eyes 

See the Master walking on the water 
And hear Him speak and calm an angry wave 
Look at Him raising of Jairus's daughter 
And with a word Lazarus comes forth from the grave 

And why is a man is strong as this 
Being betrayed by a good friend's kiss 
Could it be because this man missed 
The heaven in His eyes 

And I'm not talking about your pie in the sky 
That you good boys and girls get in the by and by 
But rather the strength that we could find 
If you've got the guts to try 

See the Teacher playing with the children 
And see Him baffle the doctors of the law 
Look at the people gathering to go with Him 
Those who see the vision that He saw 

And this is why a man as holy as He 
Had to die alone on Calvary 
Cause it was the only way we could ever see 
The heaven in His eyes 

And heaven's in His eyes 

And heaven's in His eyes 
And heaven's in His eyes"
