In Heaven’s Eyes

Written by Phill McHugh and recorded by Sandi Patti

A fervent prayer rose up to heaven;
A fragile soul was losing ground.
Sorting through the earthly babel,
Heaven heard the sound.
This was a life of no distinction;
No successes, only tries.
But gazing down on this unlovely one,
There was love in Heaven’s eyes.

In Heaven’s eyes, there are no losers.
In Heaven’s eyes, no hopeless cause.
Only people like you, with feelings like me,
Amazed by the grace we can find
In Heaven’s eyes.

The orphaned child, the wayward father,
The homeless traveler in the rain.
When life goes by and no one bothers,
Heaven feels the pain.
Looking down, God sees each heartache,
Knows each sorrow, hears each cry;
And looking up, we’ll see compassion’s fire
Ablaze in Heaven’s eyes.

In Heaven’s eyes, there are no losers.
In Heaven’s eyes, no hopeless cause.
Only people like you, with feelings like me.
And we’re amazed by the grace we can find
In Heaven’s yes.
