World Through Your Eyes - Reuben Morgan

Hear the silence shout,
Highest praise
God to You alone
All creation waits
On Your every word
Where time and heaven meet

Let me see forever
With eyes You’ve opened
Standing in Your beautiful light
Hold me near
Hold me near to You
And let me see the world through Your eyes

In this perfect hour
I am changed
I’ll never be the same
Help me follow You
And keep in time with the sound
Of heaven in me

Let me see forever
With eyes You’ve opened
Standing in Your beautiful light
Hold me near
Hold me near to You
And let me see the world through Your eyes

Hide me in Your love again
Let me hear the songs of Your heart

Train to Edinburgh (2002)

Moving backwards slowly

Towns and cities glide past

Yellow street lights glint

On raindrop speckled glass

People seem to stare strangely

But there’s nothing to look at

Outside there is darkness

I only see a view of black

I’m tired and lonely

Though surrounded by everybody

I can’t find the sun in the sky

Or this life you promised me

Do I keep falling, drifting endlessly

Or will someone come and lead me on my way?

We’re speeding up slowly

Chugging along the tracks

Headed to a destination

But I don’t know where I’m at

I’m tired and lonely

Though you’re sitting right next to me

Where is the sunshine,

Where is this life you promised me?

Do I keep falling, drifting endlessly

With no one to come and save me?

On this long and winding journey

Don’t know what to do or what to think

Every thought is a cliché

Every feeling slowly sinks

I’m tired, my mind is numb

But I’m surrounded by everyone

I can’t find the sun in the sky

Or this life you promised me

Do I keep falling, drifting endlessly

Or will someone come and lead me?

Where is the light,

The life, that was promised to me?

[Edit] By the way, in case you're wondering, this was written like 7 years ago and while thoughts of hopelessness, doubt, and the like, plagued me for a few years, I'm a lot happier now =) God is good and has a purpose for the times we go through...Sometimes I still feel impatient or discontent with where I am today but I trust it is all part of God's plans for me and He is leading me somewhere =)

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
