Be in Her Eyes

People used to tell me

How wonderful it would be

To have a child of my own

Looking up to smile at me

But now I know that "wonderful"

Is a word that can't explain

The mystery, the miracle

Of new life that God has made



In the silence of the night

I hear I lonely cry

Though I am lightly sleeping

I rush to be by Your side

And in her face, I worry

For the future she will see

That she might grow into someone

Who one day would not believe



Be in her eyes and see through her

Be in her tears and comfort her

Her tiny feet to walk with her

Till one day, she'll invite You into her heart



The prayer of all God's people

I know that You will hear

So listen to our humble hearts

And please, take away the fear

You promised us an angel

Especially for this child

To rest upon her shoulder

And carry her through the miles



So be in her eyes and see through her

Be in her tears and comfort her

Her tiny feet to walk with her

Till one day, she'll invite You into her heart



Lord, I know the burden lies

Upon this heart of mine

So help me to be wise

Oh, Lord, I know what I must do

I'll give this child to You

And be myself renewed



Oh, be in her eyes and see through her

Be in her tears and comfort her

Her tiny feet to walk with her

Till one day, she'll invite You in

Till one day, she'll invite You in

Till one day, You'll reside inside of her heart

In her heart
