Before My Very Eyes - Lyrics by Watson Wayne


Lyrics
Wayne Watson                   Psalm 101:3/
Matthew 6:22-23I haven't seen it all but I've seen enough
Got some memories--
Some I pray, one day, I'll forget
You wipe the vision clear and here it comes again
Try to hide your eyes 'cause you realize...it's sin
Chorus 1
Charmers from the left and right
They fight for my attention"
Hey-
Hey, mister...look over here"I've declared my stand...no
Chorus 2I will set no evil thing before my eyes
Only good, only truth--
Blind to all the lies
I know I could waiver, Lord
Sometimes I regress
So keep the light of holiness
Before my very eyes
Before my very eyes
On the city street--
Writing on the walls
From the TV screen screamin' thoughts obscene...
It's everywhere
But I can rise above and not be overcome
Not by this foolishness
I can win this race I run
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
My ears are, pretty much, involuntary machines. Within a giveenvironment, my control of what goes in is limited (unless Ivacate the premises...probably not a bad idea sometimes). Butthe eyes take in or ignore at my command. I haven't seen itall...but I've seen enough!
