That rusty yellow school bus came to pick us up each day Took my sister off to school and dropped me at your house to play I'd see you wavin' from the porch down that ol' dusty drive And I'd run as fast as I could to your side You taught me how to garden and you let me help you cook That gentle smile was always there and on your face that special look And you told me about Jesus how he lived inside of you You know I never doubted what you said was true Cause I saw him in your eyes In your love and in your laughter it was him I recognized I didn't know it then but now I realize That I saw him in your eyes While we cleaned up in the kitchen you'd be hummin' some old hymn And then you'd open up your Bible and read to me about your friend But more than songs and stories it was what I saw in you I watched the love of God as it came shining through Yes I saw him in your eyes... Oh my prayer is that some day when my grandchildren look at me They'll see that same reflection of him and his perfection The miracle in you that I could see When I saw him in your eyes... Yes I saw him in your eyes
