Train My Eyes
Presentations misunderstandings brings relations to a hault,
When we assume the exterior of the heart to a fault,
Would I choose to be distant after a few simple statements?,
And not give time the chance to show explanation?,
The surface cannot show me all I need to know,
Should I forfeit the chance that may change me to grow?,
Oh, how many times in silence must I shake my head?,
Knowing there is so much more to this than what's been said,
Watching, heart aching, knowing there's more,
Withstanding ignorance to open the door,
Your love pulls me in, I can't see the mistakes,
Even when I'm surrounded by them up In my face,
Don't make assumptions, please don't assume,
That you can tell everything about a person from your outside view,
But care enough to look inside,
Allowing God's love to train your eyes.
