Through His Eyes I See

My eyesight isn't perfect but I can clearly see
The beauty of the Lord Himself through the eyes He's given me
From the day I was conceived God had my life planned out
He interwove days full of joy that made me want to shout
And there've been days I've struggled just trying hard to stand
On the promises of God who holds me in His hand
Yet through it all the Lord has been faithul unto me
That's why I want to live each day so everyone can see
You don't have to be perfect for God's work to be done
Through the eyes He's given you He will glorify His son

This was inspired by Miles Pike who is a very gifted singer with very little vision.
