God Abides in Your Eyes

I remember the night
when I first fell in love with your eyes,
op’ning for the first time.
We are mother and son;
a new life has begun this great journey
from darkness to light.

You’re the image divine.
I am yours; you are mine.
You’re the story my heart beats to write.

God abides in your eyes.
All humanity rises to hold you
in love and hope so bright.
Life begins with a pray’r
that this new babe will care for the world;
transform lives ev’rywhere.

I remember the morn
when my daughter was born;
in her eyes, generations of love.
Thank the stars, it’s a girl!
She’s the hope of a world
without war, without hunger or fear.

Like a butterfly’s wings,
you can change ev’rything.
You’re the story my heart beats to sing.

God abides in your eyes.
All humanity rises to hold you
in love and hope so bright.
In this tiny new face
dwells the pathway to grace,
with the power to set the world right.

God abides in your eyes.
All humanity rises to hold you
in love and hope so bright.
Life begins with a dream
that this babe might be seen
as the hope of a vision divine.
