Story Behind The Song

I struggle with depression and have for many years. This is a song of reassurance and love that I sensed God spoke to me.

Lyrics

In My Eyes - Ryan Sheeler
-from Letters From North of Town (2008)

VERSE 1
I've watched you grow, my child
Through all the years of joy
I was right there with you
When it was all so wonderful and new

Those first steps you'd take
And soon you'd have to fall
I was there to help you stand
It was me who held your hand

VERSE 2
I know about your sorrow
and shared the pain you kept
hidden all these years
inside of your unspoken tears

I have waited here
I've wanted you to know
By my hand the earth was made
So my child, don't be afraid

CHORUS
In my eyes, you were always loved
I'd leave my flock just to run to you

Lay my word inside your heart
Then you'll know it's true

That in the end, I am waiting here for you

VERSE 3
I long to be close to you
In the quiet place
Where you wouldn't tell me
How badly your heart wanted to be free

I gave a choice to you
Before you were even born
To show my fullest love
I sent this sign from up above

BRIDGE - INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE 4
I know how far you've strayed
There is still a way back home
This is my only Son
My Word, My Love, the Chosen One

When you see the farthest star
And look deep inside your heart
I am and will always be
I know some day you'll see

(that...)
